CVE-2025-8952
📋 TL;DR
This SQL injection vulnerability in Campcodes Online Flight Booking Management System 1.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the login functionality. Remote attackers can potentially bypass authentication, access sensitive data, or compromise the database. All deployments of version 1.0 with the vulnerable component exposed are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Campcodes Online Flight Booking Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, authentication bypass, privilege escalation, and potential remote code execution if database functions allow it.
Likely Case
Authentication bypass allowing unauthorized admin access, data exfiltration of user information, and potential manipulation of flight booking data.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and network segmentation preventing database access.
🎯 Exploit Status
Public proof-of-concept exists, 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 upgrading to a newer version if available, or implement workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allImplement strict input validation and parameterized queries for the login functionality.
Web Application Firewall Rules
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the /admin/ajax.php endpoint.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict network access to the admin interface using firewall rules or network segmentation.
- Implement strong authentication mechanisms and monitor for suspicious login attempts.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin/ajax.php?action=login endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the Username parameter.Check Version:
Check the system version in the admin panel or configuration files.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify that SQL injection attempts no longer succeed and that parameterized queries are implemented.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL queries in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL patterns
- Access to /admin/ajax.php with suspicious parameters
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /admin/ajax.php containing SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, OR
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/admin/ajax.php" AND (query="*UNION*" OR query="*SELECT*" OR query="*OR*" OR query="*--*")
