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. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2025-55885 is an SQL Injection vulnerability in Alpes Recherche et Developpement ARD GEC en Ligne versions before 2025-04-23. It occurs due to unsanitized GET parameters, specifically the "ocid" parameter in index.php, which allows a remote attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This enables the attacker to escalate privileges, enumerate database tables, and extract sensitive data from the MySQL backend. [1]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, including user information, by allowing attackers to perform SQL injection attacks. It also enables privilege escalation, which means attackers can gain higher access rights than intended, potentially compromising the entire system and its data integrity. [1]
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'ocid' GET parameter in the index.php page for SQL injection flaws. A common approach is to use automated tools like sqlmap to target the parameter and attempt to extract database information. For example, the command: sqlmap -u "https://services.ard.fr/index.php?ocid=1" --dbs can be used to check for SQL injection and enumerate databases. [1]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include sanitizing and validating all GET parameters, especially the 'ocid' parameter in index.php, to prevent SQL injection. Applying input validation, using prepared statements or parameterized queries, and updating the Alpes Recherche et Developpement ARD GEC en Ligne software to a version later than 2025-04-23 where the vulnerability is fixed are recommended.
