CVE-2025-9919: Beauty Parlour Management System SQLi Flaw

CVE-2025-9919 Overview

A SQL Injection vulnerability has been identified in 1000projects Beauty Parlour Management System version 1.0. This vulnerability affects the file /admin/bwdates-reports-details.php, where improper sanitization of the fromdate and todate parameters allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the underlying database.

Critical Impact

Remote attackers can exploit this SQL Injection vulnerability to extract sensitive data, modify database contents, or potentially gain unauthorized access to the underlying system through the publicly accessible administrative endpoint.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-9919

Vulnerability Analysis

This vulnerability is classified as SQL Injection (CWE-89) with an underlying Injection vulnerability type (CWE-74). The affected endpoint /admin/bwdates-reports-details.php accepts user-supplied input through the fromdate and todate parameters, which are used in SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization. This allows attackers to manipulate the query logic by injecting crafted SQL statements.

The vulnerability exists in the administrative reporting functionality, which is designed to generate date-range reports. Because the date parameters are directly concatenated into SQL queries rather than being properly escaped or bound as prepared statement parameters, an attacker can append arbitrary SQL commands to extract data from other tables, bypass authentication checks, or manipulate database records.

Root Cause

The root cause of this vulnerability is improper input validation and the use of unsanitized user input in SQL query construction. The application fails to implement parameterized queries or prepared statements when processing the fromdate and todate parameters. Instead, these values are directly interpolated into SQL strings, creating a classic SQL Injection attack surface.

Attack Vector

The attack can be initiated remotely over the network without requiring authentication. An attacker crafts malicious HTTP requests to the /admin/bwdates-reports-details.php endpoint with specially crafted fromdate or todate parameter values containing SQL injection payloads.

For example, an attacker could manipulate the date parameters to include SQL statements that extract data from the database, bypass application logic, or enumerate database structure. The publicly disclosed nature of this vulnerability increases the risk of exploitation in the wild.

Technical details and proof-of-concept information can be found in the GitHub Issue Discussion and VulDB Entry #322320.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-9919

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual HTTP requests to /admin/bwdates-reports-details.php containing SQL syntax characters such as single quotes, semicolons, or SQL keywords in the fromdate or todate parameters
• Database query logs showing unexpected or malformed SQL statements originating from the reporting functionality
• Web application logs containing error messages related to SQL syntax errors that may indicate injection attempts
• Unexpected database access patterns or queries accessing tables not normally used by the reporting feature

Detection Strategies

• Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block common SQL injection patterns in the fromdate and todate parameters
• Implement application-level logging to capture all requests to the vulnerable endpoint and review for suspicious payloads
• Enable database query logging and monitor for unusual query patterns or SQL syntax errors
• Use intrusion detection systems with signatures for SQL injection attack patterns targeting date parameters

Monitoring Recommendations

• Monitor web server access logs for requests to /admin/bwdates-reports-details.php with abnormally long parameter values or encoded characters
• Set up alerts for database errors that may indicate SQL injection attempts
• Implement real-time monitoring for authentication bypass attempts in the administrative interface
• Review database audit logs for unauthorized data access or modification

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-9919

Immediate Actions Required

• Restrict access to the /admin/bwdates-reports-details.php endpoint through IP whitelisting or additional authentication controls
• Implement a Web Application Firewall with SQL injection protection rules
• Consider temporarily disabling the affected reporting functionality until a patch is available
• Audit database access logs for any signs of prior exploitation

Patch Information

At the time of this publication, no official patch has been released by the vendor. Organizations using 1000projects Beauty Parlour Management System 1.0 should monitor vendor communications and the VulDB entry for patch availability. Given the publicly disclosed nature of this vulnerability, immediate implementation of workarounds is strongly recommended.

Workarounds

• Implement server-side input validation to ensure fromdate and todate parameters contain only valid date formats before processing
• Deploy a reverse proxy or WAF to filter malicious SQL injection payloads before they reach the application
• Restrict network access to the administrative interface to trusted IP addresses only
• If possible, modify the application code to use prepared statements with parameterized queries for the affected endpoint

# Example .htaccess configuration to restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint
<Files "bwdates-reports-details.php">
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 192.168.1.0/24
    Allow from 10.0.0.0/8
