CVE-2025-7120
📋 TL;DR
This critical SQL injection vulnerability in Campcodes Complaint Management System 1.0 allows attackers to manipulate database queries via the email parameter in /users/check_availability.php. Attackers can potentially read, modify, or delete database contents, and the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication. All users running the affected software version are at risk.
💻 Affected Systems
- Campcodes Complaint Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data destruction, or full system takeover via SQL injection to execute arbitrary commands.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive complaint data, user information extraction, and potential privilege escalation within the application.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and database permission restrictions in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Proof of concept is publicly available on GitHub, making exploitation straightforward for attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://www.campcodes.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing input validation and parameterized queries manually, or replace with alternative software.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement server-side validation and sanitization of the email parameter before processing SQL queries.
Modify /users/check_availability.php to validate email format and escape special characters
Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
Add WAF rule: Block requests to /users/check_availability.php containing SQL keywords in email parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict network access to the application using firewall rules to limit exposure
- Implement database user permissions with least privilege to minimize potential damage
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /users/check_availability.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the email parameter (e.g., email=test' OR '1'='1).Check Version:
Check application version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer affect database queries and that input validation is properly implemented.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL patterns in email field
- Requests to /users/check_availability.php with suspicious parameters
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to /users/check_availability.php containing SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, etc.)
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/users/check_availability.php" AND (email="*'*" OR email="*UNION*" OR email="*SELECT*")
