How CVE-2025-2602 Works
The vulnerability exists in `deactivate_reg.php` of SourceCodester Kortex Lite Advocate Office Management System 1.0 due to improper sanitization of the `ID` parameter. Attackers can inject malicious SQL queries through this parameter, leading to unauthorized database access, data manipulation, or extraction. The flaw occurs because user-supplied input is directly concatenated into SQL statements without proper validation or prepared statements. Remote exploitation is possible, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands by crafting specially crafted HTTP requests.
