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-2025-6294 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in version 1.0 of the Hostel Management System, specifically in the /contact.php file. It occurs because the 'hostel_name' parameter is not properly sanitized or validated before being used in SQL queries. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code remotely without authentication, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data leakage, modification, deletion, or full system compromise. [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have severe impacts including unauthorized access to the database, exposure of sensitive information, unauthorized modification or deletion of data, disruption of services, and potentially full system compromise. Since it requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely, it poses a significant threat to system security and 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 'hostel_name' parameter in the /contact.php file for SQL injection using tools like sqlmap. Example payloads for manual testing include boolean-based blind, error-based, and time-based blind SQL injection payloads such as: - Boolean-based blind: hostel_name=111' RLIKE (SELECT (CASE WHEN (2584=2584) THEN 111 ELSE 0x28 END))-- - Error-based: hostel_name=111' OR (SELECT 1217 FROM(SELECT COUNT(*),CONCAT(0x7178767671,(SELECT (ELT(1217=1217,1))),0x716b7a7a71,FLOOR(RAND(0)*2))x FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS GROUP BY x)a)-- - Time-based blind: hostel_name=111' AND (SELECT 5214 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))ghEq)-- A command example using sqlmap would be: sqlmap -u "http://target.com/contact.php" --data="hostel_name=111" --risk=3 --level=5 --batch Additionally, vulnerable targets can be identified using Google dorking with the query: inurl:contact.php [1, 3]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include: - Implement prepared statements with parameter binding to separate SQL code from user input. - Apply strict input validation and filtering to ensure inputs conform to expected formats. - Minimize database user permissions by avoiding use of high-privilege accounts (e.g., root or admin) for application database connections. - Conduct regular security audits to detect and address vulnerabilities promptly. If possible, consider replacing the affected software with an alternative product as no known countermeasures have been documented. [1, 3]
