CVE-2025-2033
📋 TL;DR
A critical SQL injection vulnerability exists in code-projects Blood Bank Management System 1.0, specifically in the /user_dashboard/view_donor.php file's donor_id parameter. Attackers can remotely execute arbitrary SQL commands to steal, modify, or delete sensitive blood bank data. All deployments of version 1.0 are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- code-projects Blood Bank Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, destruction, or ransomware deployment, potentially affecting donor medical records and blood inventory data.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive donor information (personal data, medical history) and blood bank operational data.
If Mitigated
Limited data exposure if database permissions are restricted, but SQL injection still allows unauthorized queries.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub, making this easily weaponizable. The SQL injection appears to be straightforward parameter manipulation.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None found
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing input validation and parameterized queries in the view_donor.php file, or migrate to a supported/patched version if one becomes available.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the donor_id parameter in /user_dashboard/view_donor.php
Input Validation Filter
allAdd server-side validation to only accept numeric values for donor_id parameter
In view_donor.php, add: if(!is_numeric($_GET['donor_id'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from internet access and restrict internal network access to only necessary users
- Implement database-level controls: restrict application database user permissions to minimum required operations
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the donor_id parameter with SQL injection payloads like: /user_dashboard/view_donor.php?donor_id=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check the software version in the application interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer work and that input validation rejects non-numeric values📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple rapid requests to view_donor.php with varying donor_id parameters
- SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, etc.) in URL parameters
Network Indicators:
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
- Large data transfers from database to unexpected sources
SIEM Query:
