CVE-2025-15211
📋 TL;DR
This CVE describes a SQL injection vulnerability in the Refugee Food Management System 1.0. Attackers can manipulate parameters in the /home/refugee.php file to execute arbitrary SQL commands remotely. Organizations using this specific software version are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Refugee Food Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise including data theft, data manipulation, and potential system takeover via SQL injection leading to remote code execution.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive refugee data (personal information, food distribution records), data manipulation, and potential privilege escalation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions preventing successful exploitation.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public exploit code exists on GitHub; SQL injection is a well-understood attack vector with many automated tools available.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing parameterized queries and input validation as workaround.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation and parameterized queries for all user inputs in refugee.php
Web Application Firewall Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable parameters
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all traffic to/from the vulnerable system
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /home/refugee.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in refNo, Fname, Lname, sex, age, contact, or nationality_nid parametersCheck Version:
Check software documentation or configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that parameterized queries are implemented and SQL injection attempts return error messages rather than executing📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in web server logs
- Multiple failed login attempts or parameter manipulation attempts
- Unexpected database queries from web application
Network Indicators:
- SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests to refugee.php
- Unusual database traffic patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
web.url:*refugee.php* AND (web.param:*SQL* OR web.param:*UNION* OR web.param:*SELECT* OR web.param:*OR 1=1*)
