CVE-2025-8502
📋 TL;DR
A critical SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Online Medicine Guide 1.0 software, specifically in the /changepass.php file's 'ups' parameter. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database. All users running version 1.0 of this software are affected.

📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data manipulation, authentication bypass, or remote code execution if database functions allow it.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive medical data, user credentials, and potential privilege escalation within the application.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper input validation and parameterized queries are implemented, though some information disclosure may still occur.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub, making this easily exploitable by attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider implementing parameterized queries and input validation in /changepass.php, or migrate to a different solution.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection rules to block malicious requests to /changepass.php
Access Restriction
linuxRestrict access to /changepass.php to authenticated users only or block it entirely if not needed
# Apache: RewriteRule ^changepass\.php$ - [F]
# Nginx: location ~ /changepass\.php$ { deny all; }
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to isolate the vulnerable system from critical assets
- Enable detailed logging and monitoring for SQL injection attempts on /changepass.php
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /changepass.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the 'ups' parameter (e.g., ' OR '1'='1). Use tools like sqlmap with caution: sqlmap -u "http://target/changepass.php?ups=test"Check Version:
Check the software version in the application interface or configuration files, typically in about.php or config.phpVerify Fix Applied:
After implementing fixes, retest with the same SQL injection payloads to confirm they are blocked or sanitized.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL syntax in POST/GET parameters to /changepass.php
- Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by SQL error messages
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /changepass.php containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.) in parameters
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/changepass.php" AND (param="*SELECT*" OR param="*UNION*" OR param="*OR*1*1*")
