CVE-2025-26200
📋 TL;DR
This SQL injection vulnerability in SLIMS v9.6.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the month parameter in visitor_report_day.php. Successful exploitation could lead to privilege escalation, data theft, or complete system compromise. All organizations running vulnerable SLIMS versions are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- SLIMS (Senayan Library Management System)
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data exfiltration, privilege escalation to administrative access, and potential remote code execution through database functions.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive library patron data, modification of library records, and privilege escalation to gain administrative control of the SLIMS system.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permission restrictions, potentially only allowing data viewing without modification.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires understanding of SQL injection techniques and SLIMS database structure. The month parameter manipulation is the attack vector.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check GitHub issue for specific patched version
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/slims/slims9_bulian/issues/269
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check the GitHub issue for patch details. 2. Update to the latest SLIMS version. 3. Apply input validation/sanitization to month parameter. 4. Test the visitor_report_day.php functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Workaround
allAdd server-side validation to ensure month parameter contains only numeric values
Modify visitor_report_day.php to validate $_GET['month'] with is_numeric() or regex matching
WAF Rule Implementation
allDeploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns in month parameter
Add WAF rule: Detect SQL keywords in month parameter (SELECT, UNION, INSERT, etc.)
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Disable or restrict access to visitor_report_day.php component
- Implement strict database user permissions with least privilege principle
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test month parameter with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1 and observe database errors or unexpected behaviorCheck Version:
Check SLIMS version in admin panel or review SLIMS configuration files for version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Attempt SQL injection tests on month parameter; successful fix should reject malicious input and show proper error handling📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts followed by visitor_report_day.php access
- Suspicious month parameter values containing SQL keywords
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to visitor_report_day.php with SQL injection patterns in parameters
- Unusual database query patterns from web server IP
SIEM Query:
web.url: "*visitor_report_day.php*" AND (web.param: "*SELECT*" OR web.param: "*UNION*" OR web.param: "*OR 1=1*")
