9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2025-25763 is a SQL injection vulnerability in crmeb CRMEB-KY software that allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands through the getRead() function in SystemDatabackupServices.php. This affects all versions up to and including v5.4.0. Attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete database content.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • crmeb CRMEB-KY
Versions: v5.4.0 and all earlier versions
Operating Systems: Any OS running PHP
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the default installation of CRMEB-KY. No special configuration required for exploitation.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data destruction, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution through database functions.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized data access and extraction of sensitive information including user credentials, business data, and configuration details.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and parameterized queries preventing SQL injection.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Web applications are typically internet-facing and this vulnerability is remotely exploitable.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal systems could be targeted by authenticated users or through other attack vectors.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Public proof-of-concept code exists in GitHub repositories, making exploitation straightforward for attackers.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Unknown

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Monitor official CRMEB-KY channels for security updates. 2. Apply vendor patch when available. 3. Test patch in non-production environment first.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries in the getRead() function to prevent SQL injection.

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block exploitation attempts.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement network segmentation to isolate the vulnerable system from critical assets
  • Enable detailed logging and monitoring for SQL injection attempts and unusual database queries

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if running CRMEB-KY version 5.4.0 or earlier. Review SystemDatabackupServices.php for vulnerable getRead() function.

Check Version:

Check CRMEB-KY configuration files or admin panel for version information

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify version is updated beyond v5.4.0. Test the getRead() endpoint with SQL injection payloads to confirm protection.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL queries in application logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts or database errors
  • Requests to SystemDatabackupServices.php with SQL syntax

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.)
  • Unusual traffic patterns to database backup endpoints

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND (uri="*SystemDatabackupServices*" AND (message="*SELECT*" OR message="*UNION*" OR message="*OR 1=1*"))
