CVE-2024-25866 is a SQL Injection vulnerability found in the CodeAstro Membership Management System version 1.0, specifically in the index.php component's handling of the email parameter. The vulnerability arises due to improper sanitization or validation of user-supplied input, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL commands remotely. The attack vector requires network access and limited privileges (PR:L), but no user interaction is necessary (UI:N). The vulnerability affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the backend database, enabling attackers to extract sensitive information, modify or delete data, or disrupt service availability. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89, which is a common and critical injection flaw. Although no patches or known exploits are currently available, the high CVSS score (8.8) reflects the potential severity and ease of exploitation. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to organizations relying on this membership management system, especially those with sensitive user data stored in the database.

The potential impact of CVE-2024-25866 is substantial for organizations using the CodeAstro Membership Management System. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive user data, including personally identifiable information (PII) and membership details, resulting in privacy violations and regulatory non-compliance. Attackers could also alter or delete critical data, undermining data integrity and trustworthiness. Furthermore, the vulnerability can be leveraged to disrupt service availability, causing downtime and operational disruption. For organizations with integrated systems or connected databases, the compromise could cascade, affecting broader IT infrastructure. The high severity and ease of remote exploitation without user interaction increase the risk of widespread attacks if the vulnerability is not promptly addressed.

To mitigate CVE-2024-25866, organizations should immediately review and sanitize all inputs, particularly the email parameter in index.php, using parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. Employing a web application firewall (WAF) with rules targeting SQL injection patterns can provide an additional layer of defense. Conduct a thorough code audit of the entire application to identify and remediate similar injection flaws. Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential exploitation. Monitor logs for suspicious SQL queries or unusual database activity indicative of attempted injection attacks. Since no official patch is available, consider isolating the affected system from public networks or limiting access until a fix is released. Finally, maintain regular backups of databases to enable recovery in case of data corruption or deletion.
