CVE Alert: CVE-2025-10836 – SourceCodester – Pet Grooming Management Software

Risk verdict

Why this matters

Most likely attack path

Who is most exposed

Detection ideas

• Logs show anomalous requests to print1.php with suspicious ID values or SQL payloads.
• Web/app server error logs reveal SQL error messages from the endpoint.
• IDS/IPS or WAF triggers on SQLi patterns targeting the endpoint.
• Abnormal query volume or unusual data access patterns in DB logs.
• Spike in 500/log errors coinciding with ID parameter requests.

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Apply the vendor patch or upgrade to the fixed version; if unavailable, implement input validation and parameterised queries immediately.
• Restrict or disable external access to the admin endpoint; enforce MFA for admin accounts.
• Deploy WAF/IDS rules to block common SQLi payloads against print1.php; monitor for abuse.
• Review and harden DB privileges, network segmentation, and least‑privilege access between app and database.
• Schedule patching within a defined maintenance window; perform testing in a staging environment.
• If KEV is true or EPSS ≥ 0.5, treat as priority 1. (Data not provided in this context; update if indicators are available.)
