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-2025-6846 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in code-projects Simple Forum version 1.0, specifically in the /forum_viewfile.php file. It occurs because the 'name' parameter is not properly validated or sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This enables unauthorized access to the database, allowing attackers to read, modify, or delete data remotely without authentication. [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized database access, data leakage, data tampering, full system compromise, and potential service disruption. Attackers can manipulate SQL queries to access sensitive information or alter data, threatening data integrity and confidentiality. Exploitation does not require user authentication and can be performed remotely, posing a severe 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 'name' parameter in the /forum_viewfile.php endpoint for SQL injection. A common method is to use time-based blind SQL injection payloads such as: name=1' AND (SELECT SLEEP(5)) AND 'a'='a to observe delayed responses. Tools like sqlmap can automate detection and exploitation attempts. Additionally, searching for the vulnerable URL pattern using Google dorking with inurl:forum_viewfile.php can help identify affected systems. [2, 3]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include: 1) Implementing prepared statements with parameter binding to prevent SQL injection. 2) Applying strict input validation and filtering on the 'name' parameter to ensure only expected input is accepted. 3) Limiting database user permissions to the minimum necessary, avoiding high-privilege accounts for routine operations. 4) Conducting regular security audits of the code and system. If possible, consider replacing the affected software with a secure alternative. [2, 3, 1]
