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-2025-6159 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in version 1.0 of the Hostel Management System, specifically in the /allocate_room.php file. It occurs because the 'search_box' parameter is not properly validated or sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This enables unauthorized access to the database, data leakage, modification, deletion, and potential control over the system. Exploitation requires no authentication and can be done remotely using various SQL injection techniques. [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can severely impact you by allowing attackers to access sensitive data, modify or delete database contents, disrupt system availability, and potentially take control of the affected system. Since exploitation requires no authentication and can be performed remotely, it poses a high risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your system and data. It can lead to unauthorized data exposure, data tampering, and service disruption, threatening business continuity. [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 testing the 'search_box' parameter in the /allocate_room.php file for SQL injection flaws. Using tools like sqlmap to automate detection is effective. Additionally, Google dorking with the query "inurl:allocate_room.php" can help identify vulnerable targets. Example command with sqlmap: sqlmap -u "http://target/allocate_room.php" --data="search_box=test" --batch --risk=3 --level=5. Manual testing can include injecting typical SQL payloads into the 'search_box' parameter and observing the response for SQL errors or unexpected behavior. [2, 3]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include: 1) Replacing the affected software with an alternative product if possible. 2) Applying input validation and sanitization to the 'search_box' parameter to prevent SQL injection. 3) Using prepared statements with parameter binding to separate SQL code from user input. 4) Minimizing database user permissions to avoid using high-privilege accounts for routine operations. 5) Conducting regular security audits to detect and fix vulnerabilities promptly. Since no official patches are documented, these measures help reduce risk until a fix or replacement is implemented. [1, 3, 2]
