CVE-2025-7466: ABC Courier Management System SQL Injection

CVE-2025-7466 Overview

A critical SQL Injection vulnerability has been identified in 1000projects ABC Courier Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the /add_dealerrequest.php file, where improper handling of the Name argument allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands. This flaw enables remote attackers to manipulate database queries without authentication, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion.

Critical Impact

Remote attackers can exploit this SQL injection vulnerability to bypass authentication, extract sensitive data, modify database contents, or potentially execute arbitrary commands on the underlying database server.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-7466

Vulnerability Analysis

This SQL Injection vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation in the dealer request functionality of the ABC Courier Management System. The application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied data in the Name parameter before incorporating it into SQL queries. This allows attackers to craft malicious input that alters the intended SQL query logic, enabling unauthorized database operations.

The vulnerability is classified under CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component), commonly known as Injection. The attack can be launched remotely over the network without requiring any user interaction or authentication, making it particularly dangerous for internet-facing deployments.

Root Cause

The root cause of this vulnerability is the lack of proper input sanitization and parameterized queries in the /add_dealerrequest.php file. The Name parameter is directly concatenated into SQL statements without adequate escaping or validation, allowing special SQL characters and commands to be interpreted by the database engine rather than treated as literal data.

Attack Vector

The vulnerability is exploitable via the network attack vector. An unauthenticated remote attacker can submit specially crafted HTTP requests to the /add_dealerrequest.php endpoint, manipulating the Name parameter to inject arbitrary SQL commands. The exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation in the wild.

The attack requires no special privileges or user interaction. An attacker simply needs to send a malicious request containing SQL injection payloads in the Name field. Successful exploitation could result in disclosure of sensitive courier and customer data, modification of delivery records, or complete database compromise.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-7466

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual SQL syntax or error messages in web application logs related to /add_dealerrequest.php
• Unexpected database queries containing SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, DROP, or comment sequences (--, /**/)
• Anomalous access patterns to the dealer request functionality from external IP addresses
• Database audit logs showing unauthorized data access or modification

Detection Strategies

• Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with SQL injection detection rules targeting the /add_dealerrequest.php endpoint
• Implement application-level logging to capture all input parameters submitted to the vulnerable endpoint
• Monitor database query logs for suspicious patterns including malformed queries or unexpected operations
• Use intrusion detection systems with signatures for common SQL injection payloads

Monitoring Recommendations

• Enable verbose logging for the ABC Courier Management System web application
• Configure database audit logging to track all queries against sensitive tables
• Set up alerts for HTTP requests containing SQL injection patterns targeting the Name parameter
• Monitor for unusual data exfiltration patterns or bulk database queries

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-7466

Immediate Actions Required

• Restrict network access to the ABC Courier Management System to trusted IP addresses only
• Implement input validation on the Name parameter to reject special characters and SQL syntax
• Deploy a Web Application Firewall with SQL injection protection rules
• Consider taking the application offline until a patch is available if it processes sensitive data

Patch Information

At the time of publication, no official vendor patch has been released for this vulnerability. Organizations using 1000projects ABC Courier Management System 1.0 should contact the vendor for remediation guidance and monitor the VulDB entry and GitHub discussion for updates.

Workarounds

• Implement prepared statements or parameterized queries at the application level if source code access is available
• Use a reverse proxy or WAF to filter SQL injection attempts targeting /add_dealerrequest.php
• Restrict database user privileges to minimum required operations to limit exploitation impact
• Segment the database server from other critical network resources

# Example WAF rule for ModSecurity to block SQL injection on the vulnerable endpoint
SecRule REQUEST_URI "@contains /add_dealerrequest.php" \
    "id:100001,phase:2,deny,status:403,\
    chain"
    SecRule ARGS:Name "@detectSQLi" \
        "log,msg:'SQL Injection attempt blocked on Name parameter'"
