CVE-2025-11664 Overview
A SQL Injection vulnerability has been identified in Campcodes Online Beauty Parlor Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the /admin/search-appointment.php file, where improper handling of the searchdata parameter allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This flaw enables remote attackers with administrative access to manipulate database queries, potentially compromising data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Critical Impact
Remote attackers can exploit this SQL Injection vulnerability to extract sensitive data, modify database records, or potentially compromise the underlying database server through the vulnerable search functionality.
Affected Products
- Campcodes Online Beauty Parlor Management System 1.0
- Systems using the /admin/search-appointment.php endpoint
- Deployments with exposed administrative interfaces

Technical Details for CVE-2025-11664
Vulnerability Analysis
This SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-89) exists in the appointment search functionality of the administrative interface. The searchdata parameter in /admin/search-appointment.php fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before incorporating it into SQL queries. When an authenticated administrator uses the search feature, the application directly concatenates the input value into the database query without parameterization or proper escaping.
The vulnerability falls under the broader category of Injection flaws (CWE-74), where untrusted data is sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query. While the attack requires administrative privileges, successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized data access, data manipulation, and potential database compromise.
Root Cause
The root cause of this vulnerability is the absence of input validation and parameterized queries in the /admin/search-appointment.php file. The application directly incorporates user input from the searchdata parameter into SQL statements without sanitization, escaping, or the use of prepared statements. This coding practice violates secure development principles and creates a direct path for SQL Injection attacks.
Attack Vector
The attack is network-based and can be executed remotely by an authenticated user with administrative privileges. An attacker must have valid credentials to access the admin panel's search appointment functionality. Once authenticated, they can craft malicious SQL payloads within the searchdata parameter to manipulate the underlying database queries.
The vulnerability exploits the search functionality where input is expected to filter appointment records. Instead of legitimate search terms, an attacker injects SQL syntax that alters the query logic, allowing them to extract data from other tables, bypass authentication checks on database-level operations, or modify/delete records.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-11664
Indicators of Compromise
- Unusual SQL syntax patterns in web server access logs for /admin/search-appointment.php
- Database query logs showing injection attempts with UNION SELECT, ORDER BY, or comment syntax
- Unexpected data extraction or modification in appointment-related database tables
- Error messages in application logs indicating SQL syntax errors from malformed injection attempts
Detection Strategies
- Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL Injection patterns in the searchdata parameter
- Monitor HTTP request logs for suspicious characters and SQL keywords in search queries (e.g., single quotes, UNION, SELECT, OR 1=1)
- Deploy database activity monitoring to detect anomalous query patterns from the web application
- Use intrusion detection systems (IDS) with SQL Injection signature detection capabilities
Monitoring Recommendations
- Enable detailed logging for the /admin/search-appointment.php endpoint and all database queries
- Set up alerts for failed SQL queries that may indicate injection probing attempts
- Monitor for unusual administrative account activity patterns that could suggest credential compromise
- Review database audit logs for queries accessing multiple tables or system tables unexpectedly
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-11664
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict access to the administrative interface to trusted IP addresses only
- Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to filter SQL Injection attempts
- Disable or restrict access to /admin/search-appointment.php until a patch is available
- Review administrative account access and ensure strong authentication measures are in place
Patch Information
No official vendor patch has been released at this time. Organizations using Campcodes Online Beauty Parlor Management System 1.0 should monitor the CampCodes website for security updates. Additional technical details and discussion can be found in the GitHub CVE Issue Discussion and VulDB advisory.
Workarounds
- Apply input validation by modifying the application code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements for the searchdata parameter
- Implement server-side input sanitization to escape special SQL characters before query execution
- Place the application behind a reverse proxy with SQL Injection filtering capabilities
- Consider temporarily disabling the search appointment functionality until the vulnerability can be properly remediated
- Apply the principle of least privilege to database accounts used by the web application to limit exploitation impact
# Example: Restrict access to admin directory via Apache .htaccess
# Add to /admin/.htaccess file
<RequireAll>
Require ip 192.168.1.0/24
Require ip 10.0.0.0/8
</RequireAll>
# Deny direct access to vulnerable script
<Files "search-appointment.php">
Require all denied
</Files>
