CVE Alert: CVE-2025-12607 – itsourcecode – Online Loan Management System

Risk verdict

High risk due to remotely exploitable SQL injection with publicly available PoC; patch promptly.

Why this matters

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated access to manipulate database queries via the ID parameter, with potential for data disclosure, modification of payments, or financial disruption. Exposure could lead to regulatory concerns and reputational damage, especially for a payment-related module handling sensitive customer data.

Most likely attack path

An attacker can target manage_payment.php over the network, no user interaction required. The CVSS metrics indicate network access, no authentication, and low-privilege prerequisites, with scope unchanged to the vulnerable component. Exploitation can yield data leakage or tampering at the application layer, with potential secondary impact on related data. PoC availability increases likelihood of opportunistic exploitation.

Who is most exposed

Typically deployed in small/medium businesses running itsourcecode Online Loan Management System on PHP/MySQL stacks, often internet-facing or inadequately protected by firewalls or WAFs. Public exposure amplifies risk for payment-handling modules.

Detection ideas

• Web logs show anomalous requests to manage_payment.php with suspicious ID values or SQL syntax hints.
• MySQL or application logs record syntax errors or failed queries tied to the ID parameter.
• Elevated error responses (SQL errors) from the application during payments processing.
• WAF alerts for typical SQL injection patterns (e.g., UNION SELECT, tautologies).
• External IPs attempting rapid sequential or random ID values.

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Apply vendor patch or upgrade to fixed version; verify integrity and test in staging before production.
• Implement parameterised queries/prepared statements; validate and constrain ID input server-side.
• Enable and tune WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns; limit direct access to manage_payment.php.
• Enforce least privilege for database accounts and monitor payment-related queries; disconnect or isolate payment functions if patching is slow.
• Schedule a rapid patch window; document changes; run post-deployment checks.
