CVE-2025-9027 Overview
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in code-projects Online Medicine Guide version 1.0. This vulnerability affects unknown code within the /addelivery.php file, where manipulation of the deName argument enables SQL injection attacks. The attack can be initiated remotely, and the exploit has been publicly disclosed.
Critical Impact
Remote attackers can exploit this SQL injection vulnerability to access, modify, or delete sensitive data in the application's database without authentication. This could lead to unauthorized access to medicine information, user data exposure, and potential full database compromise.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-9027
Vulnerability Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component), which specifically manifests as SQL injection in this case. The vulnerable endpoint /addelivery.php accepts user-controlled input through the deName parameter without proper sanitization or parameterized queries.
The network-accessible nature of this vulnerability means that any remote attacker can reach the vulnerable endpoint without requiring prior authentication. The lack of input validation on the deName parameter allows attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands that will be executed by the database server with the application's privileges.
Root Cause
The root cause stems from improper input validation and lack of parameterized queries in the /addelivery.php file. The application directly concatenates user-supplied input from the deName parameter into SQL queries without proper escaping or the use of prepared statements. This allows attackers to break out of the intended query structure and inject malicious SQL commands.
Attack Vector
The attack vector is network-based, allowing remote exploitation. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests to the /addelivery.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the deName parameter. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or authentication, making it trivially exploitable.
The exploitation mechanism involves injecting SQL syntax through the deName parameter to manipulate database queries. Common attack patterns include UNION-based injection to extract data, boolean-based blind injection to enumerate database contents, and time-based injection to infer information when direct output is not visible. Technical details and proof-of-concept information can be found in the GitHub Issue Discussion and VulDB #320092.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-9027
Indicators of Compromise
- HTTP requests to /addelivery.php containing SQL syntax characters such as single quotes, double dashes, UNION keywords, or semicolons in the deName parameter
- Database error messages appearing in application logs or HTTP responses indicating failed SQL queries
- Unusual database query patterns or increased query execution times from the web application
- Evidence of data exfiltration or unauthorized database access in audit logs
Detection Strategies
- Deploy web application firewalls (WAF) with SQL injection detection rules targeting the /addelivery.php endpoint
- Implement input validation monitoring to detect malformed or suspicious deName parameter values
- Enable database query logging and alert on queries containing suspicious patterns from the Online Medicine Guide application
- Monitor for anomalous HTTP request patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint
Monitoring Recommendations
- Configure real-time alerting for SQL injection attack signatures in web server access logs
- Implement database activity monitoring to detect unauthorized queries or data access
- Set up honeypot parameters to detect automated scanning and exploitation attempts
- Review application logs regularly for evidence of exploitation attempts against /addelivery.php
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-9027
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict access to /addelivery.php using network-level controls or web server configuration until a patch is available
- Implement web application firewall rules to block SQL injection attempts targeting the deName parameter
- Consider disabling the affected functionality if it is not business-critical
- Review database access logs for evidence of prior exploitation
Patch Information
No vendor patch is currently available for this vulnerability. Organizations using the affected code-projects Online Medicine Guide 1.0 should implement compensating controls immediately. Monitor the Code Projects Resource Hub for potential updates or security advisories.
For additional technical details and vulnerability tracking, refer to:
Workarounds
- Implement input validation to sanitize the deName parameter, rejecting any values containing SQL metacharacters
- Use prepared statements or parameterized queries if modifying the source code is possible
- Deploy a reverse proxy or WAF with SQL injection filtering capabilities in front of the application
- Restrict database user privileges used by the application to minimize the impact of successful exploitation
