CVE-2025-10068 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Online Discussion Forum software. The flaw exists in an unspecified function within the /admin/admin_forum/add_views.php file, where manipulation of the 'ID' argument allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N). The injection could lead to unauthorized access or modification of the backend database, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the forum data. Although the CVSS score is 6.9 (medium severity), the exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, and no official patches or fixes have been published yet. The lack of authentication and user interaction requirements makes this vulnerability relatively easy to exploit, especially on publicly accessible forum installations. The impact depends on the sensitivity of the data stored and the role of the forum in the organization’s communication infrastructure.

For European organizations using the itsourcecode Online Discussion Forum version 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data manipulation, or deletion, affecting the confidentiality and integrity of user discussions and administrative data. This could result in reputational damage, loss of user trust, and potential regulatory non-compliance under GDPR if personal data is exposed. Additionally, attackers might leverage the vulnerability as a foothold to pivot into internal networks, escalating the impact. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the likelihood of attacks, especially for forums exposed to the internet. Organizations relying on this forum for critical communications or customer engagement may experience operational disruptions and data breaches, which could have legal and financial consequences.

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should immediately implement compensating controls. First, restrict access to the /admin/admin_forum/add_views.php endpoint by IP whitelisting or network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted administrators only. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'ID' parameter. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially the 'ID' argument, to prevent injection. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or error messages indicative of exploitation attempts. If feasible, upgrade to a newer, patched version of the forum software once available or consider migrating to alternative, actively maintained discussion platforms. Regularly back up forum data and test restoration procedures to mitigate data loss risks. Finally, educate administrators about the vulnerability and the importance of minimizing exposure of administrative interfaces.
