CVE-2025-65236
📋 TL;DR
This SQL injection vulnerability in OpenCode Systems USSD Gateway allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the Session ID parameter in the control panel endpoint. Attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete database contents, affecting all systems running the vulnerable version without proper input validation.
💻 Affected Systems
- OpenCode Systems USSD Gateway
📦 What is this software?
Ussd Gateway by Opencode
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of the USSD gateway system leading to data exfiltration, authentication bypass, remote code execution, and potential lateral movement to connected systems.
Likely Case
Unauthorized database access allowing extraction of sensitive information, modification of configuration data, or disruption of USSD services.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and network segmentation preventing database access.
🎯 Exploit Status
SQL injection via Session ID parameter is straightforward to exploit with common tools like sqlmap.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: Not found in provided references
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check vendor website for security updates. 2. Apply any available patches. 3. Validate fix by testing the vulnerable endpoint.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns in Session ID parameter
Input Validation Filter
allImplement server-side validation to reject malicious Session ID values
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the USSD gateway system from internet access and restrict to necessary internal networks only
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database access from the gateway
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /occontrolpanel/index.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in Session ID parameter using tools like sqlmap or manual testingCheck Version:
Check application version in admin interface or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Retest the endpoint with SQL injection payloads to confirm they are properly rejected or sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL patterns
- Unexpected database queries from gateway IP
Network Indicators:
- SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests to /occontrolpanel/index.php
- Unusual database traffic from gateway system
