CVE-2025-51683

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

An unauthenticated blind SQL injection vulnerability in mJobtime v15.7.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL statements via crafted POST requests to the /Default.aspx/update_profile_Server endpoint. This affects all systems running the vulnerable version of mJobtime time management software. Attackers can potentially extract, modify, or delete database contents without authentication.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • mJobtime
Versions: v15.7.2
Operating Systems: Windows (likely, based on .aspx endpoint)
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The vulnerability exists in the default installation of mJobtime v15.7.2. No special configuration is required for exploitation.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data destruction, or remote code execution via database functions, potentially resulting in full system takeover.

🟠

Likely Case

Data exfiltration of sensitive information (user credentials, personal data, business records) and potential privilege escalation within the application.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact due to network segmentation, WAF filtering, or database user privilege restrictions preventing data modification or system access.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is exploitable via unauthenticated POST requests, making internet-facing instances immediately vulnerable to automated attacks.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, any user with network access to the application can exploit this without credentials, posing significant internal threat.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

The vulnerability requires only a crafted HTTP POST request with SQL injection payloads. Public advisory includes technical details that facilitate exploitation.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Unknown

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Check mJobtime vendor website for security updates. 2. If patch is available, download and apply according to vendor instructions. 3. Test the fix in a non-production environment first. 4. Monitor vendor communications for official guidance.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules

all

Implement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint

Network Access Control

all

Restrict access to the /Default.aspx/update_profile_Server endpoint to authorized IP addresses only

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries in the application code
  • Deploy the application behind a reverse proxy with SQL injection filtering and rate limiting

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Send a crafted POST request to /Default.aspx/update_profile_Server with SQL injection payloads and observe database errors or time delays

Check Version:

Check the mJobtime application version in the web interface or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Test the same SQL injection attempts after remediation - they should be blocked or return generic error messages without database details

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual POST requests to /Default.aspx/update_profile_Server
  • Database error messages in application logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts following SQL injection patterns

Network Indicators:

  • POST requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, INSERT, etc.) to the vulnerable endpoint
  • Unusual outbound database connections from the application server

SIEM Query:

source="web_server" AND (uri="/Default.aspx/update_profile_Server" AND (request_body CONTAINS "SELECT" OR request_body CONTAINS "UNION" OR request_body CONTAINS "INSERT"))
