| 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-2025-14667 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode COVID Tracking System version 1.0, specifically in the /admin/?page=system_info endpoint. The vulnerability occurs because the 'meta_value' parameter is not properly validated or sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This can lead to unauthorized access to the database, enabling attackers to view, modify, or delete sensitive data remotely without authentication. [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have severe impacts including unauthorized access to sensitive data, data leakage, modification or deletion of data, and potentially full system compromise or service disruption. Since it can be exploited remotely without authentication, attackers can manipulate the database to harm data integrity, confidentiality, and availability, which can disrupt business operations and compromise user privacy. [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 'meta_value' parameter in the /cts/admin/?page=system_info endpoint for SQL injection. A proof-of-concept time-based blind SQL injection payload is: meta_value=1' AND (SELECT 8940 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))ebbk) AND 'wJlF'='wJlF, which causes a delay in the database response if vulnerable. Testing can be performed using tools like sqlmap targeting POST requests to /cts/classes/SystemSettings.php?f=update_settings to confirm injection points. [3]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include: 1) Using prepared statements with parameter binding to separate SQL code from user input. 2) Implementing strict input validation and filtering to ensure inputs conform to expected formats. 3) Minimizing database user permissions by avoiding high-privilege accounts like 'root' or 'admin' for routine operations. 4) Conducting regular security audits to detect and remediate vulnerabilities promptly. Additionally, consider replacing the affected product with an alternative as no known countermeasures exist. [2, 3]
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode COVID Tracking System 1.0 allows unauthorized access, modification, deletion, and exposure of sensitive data. Such unauthorized data exposure and integrity compromise can lead to violations of data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding personal and health information against unauthorized access and ensuring data integrity. Failure to remediate this vulnerability could result in non-compliance with these standards due to potential data breaches and loss of data confidentiality and integrity. [1, 2, 3]
