CVE Alert: CVE-2025-9426 – itsourcecode – Online Tour and Travel Management System

Risk verdict

High risk: a publicly disclosed SQL injection flaw in a remotely accessible component, exploitable without authentication.

Why this matters

Successful exploitation could expose or alter customer and booking data, disrupt operations, or enable data tampering. The high CVSS v3.1 score and public PoC indicate attackers may rapidly automate targeting of exposed deployments.

Most likely attack path

An unauthenticated attacker remotely targets a vulnerable input in the web app’s PHP component, sending crafted payloads that alter SQL queries. With network access and no user interaction required, successful exploitation can lead to data leakage, modification, or availability impact across the application’s database.

Who is most exposed

Web deployments of itsourcecode’s Online Tour and Travel Management System, especially in small-to-medium businesses using shared hosting or single-VM stacks with internet-facing endpoints.

Detection ideas

• SQL error messages or database errors logged by the app or web server.
• Unusual or highly repetitive queries involving the vulnerable parameter.
• Anomalous authentication-agnostic access attempts from diverse IPs targeting package.php.
• WAF or IDS alerts for SQLi payload patterns in HTTP requests.
• Notification of known PoC strings or exploit patterns in application logs.

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Apply vendor patch or upgrade to fixed version when released.
• Enforce parameterised queries and stored procedures; avoid dynamic SQL in the affected area.
• Implement input validation and proper escaping for all user-supplied data.
• Apply least-privilege database accounts and monitor for anomalous DB activity.
• Enable focused SIEM/WAF rules and establish an urgent patch window; document mitigation steps in change management. If KEV/EPSS data becomes available, adjust prioritisation accordingly.
