CVE-2025-10068 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in itsourcecode Online Discussion Forum version 1.0. The flaw exists in an unspecified function within the file /admin/admin_forum/add_views.php, where improper sanitization or validation of the 'ID' parameter allows an attacker to manipulate SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction, making it accessible to unauthenticated attackers over the network. The SQL Injection can lead to unauthorized access to the backend database, potentially allowing attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data, escalate privileges, or execute further attacks such as remote code execution depending on the database and application context. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, but limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no public exploits are currently known to be in the wild, the exploit code has been published, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Online Discussion Forum, which is a web-based platform used for online community discussions and forums. Given the administrative context of the vulnerable script, exploitation could compromise forum administration functions and user data stored in the database.

For European organizations using the itsourcecode Online Discussion Forum 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their forum data. Attackers could extract sensitive user information, including credentials, private messages, or personal data, potentially violating GDPR regulations and leading to legal and reputational consequences. The integrity of forum content and administrative settings could be compromised, allowing attackers to manipulate discussions or user permissions. Availability impact is limited but could occur if attackers execute destructive SQL commands. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely, it increases the attack surface for organizations, especially those exposing the forum to the internet. Organizations relying on this forum for customer engagement or internal communication may face operational disruptions and data breaches. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate but actionable threat that should be addressed promptly to prevent exploitation.

1. Immediate upgrade or patching: Organizations should check for any official patches or updates from itsourcecode addressing CVE-2025-10068 and apply them promptly. If no patch is available, consider upgrading to a newer, unaffected version or alternative forum software. 2. Input validation and sanitization: Review and harden the input handling in /admin/admin_forum/add_views.php, especially the 'ID' parameter, by implementing strict input validation, parameterized queries, or prepared statements to prevent SQL Injection. 3. Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy or update WAF rules to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the vulnerable parameter. 4. Access controls: Restrict access to the /admin/ directory to trusted IP addresses or via VPN to reduce exposure. 5. Monitoring and logging: Enable detailed logging of database queries and web requests to detect suspicious activity related to SQL Injection attempts. 6. Incident response readiness: Prepare to respond to potential exploitation by having backups, forensic capabilities, and communication plans in place. 7. Security testing: Conduct penetration testing and code reviews focusing on SQL Injection vulnerabilities in the forum application and other web assets.
