Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-89 | The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. |
| CWE-74 | The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2025-5755 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in SourceCodester Open Source Clinic Management System version 1.0, specifically in the /email_config.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper validation and sanitization of the 'email' parameter (and also 'mail_port' parameter as noted), which allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This enables unauthorized manipulation of database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data leakage, modification, or deletion. [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database. The impacts include unauthorized access to sensitive data, data modification or deletion, full system compromise, and potential service disruption. Because the exploit is publicly available and easy to perform, the risk of attack is high. [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by identifying if the system is running SourceCodester Open Source Clinic Management System version 1.0 and if the file /email_config.php is accessible. One method to find vulnerable targets is using Google dorking with queries such as 'inurl:email_config.php'. Additionally, monitoring for unusual SQL query patterns or injection attempts targeting the 'email' parameter in /email_config.php can help detect exploitation attempts. Specific commands are not provided in the resources, but network or web application scanners that detect SQL injection vulnerabilities on the 'email' parameter of /email_config.php could be used. [2]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include replacing the affected component with an alternative product, as no known countermeasures or patches have been published. Additionally, it is recommended to implement prepared statements to separate SQL code from user input, enforce strict input validation and filtering to ensure expected data formats, and minimize database user permissions by avoiding high-privilege accounts for routine operations. Regular security audits should also be conducted to detect and remediate vulnerabilities promptly. [2, 3]
