CVE-2025-7514
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-7514 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Modern Bag 1.0 that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the idStatus parameter in /admin/contact-list.php. This affects all systems running Modern Bag 1.0 with the vulnerable file accessible. Attackers can potentially read, modify, or delete database content.

📦 What is this software?
Modern Bag by Code Projects
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data destruction, or remote code execution if database permissions allow file system access or command execution.
Likely Case
Unauthorized data access, modification of contact lists, potential privilege escalation to admin accounts, and data exfiltration.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and database user privilege restrictions in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub. Attack requires access to admin interface but SQL injection is straightforward once authenticated.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Check vendor website for security updates. 2. If no patch available, implement workarounds. 3. Consider replacing with alternative software if vendor is unresponsive.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd server-side validation to ensure idStatus parameter contains only expected values (integers).
// PHP example: if(!is_numeric($_GET['idStatus'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
Web Application Firewall Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting /admin/contact-list.php.
# ModSecurity example: SecRule ARGS:idStatus "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict access to /admin/ directory using IP whitelisting or authentication requirements.
- Implement database user privilege reduction to limit potential damage from SQL injection.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test if /admin/contact-list.php accepts SQL injection payloads in idStatus parameter (e.g., idStatus=1' OR '1'='1).Check Version:
Check software version in admin panel or readme files; Modern Bag 1.0 is affected.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer work and return error or sanitized response.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in web server logs
- Multiple requests to /admin/contact-list.php with suspicious parameters
- Database query errors containing SQL syntax
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests with SQL keywords in idStatus parameter
- Unusual traffic patterns to admin interface
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/admin/contact-list.php" AND (query="*idStatus=*OR*" OR query="*idStatus=*UNION*" OR query="*idStatus=*SELECT*")
