CVE-2025-10251 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in FoxCMS, a content management system, affecting all versions up to 1.24. The vulnerability resides in the batchCope function within the /app/admin/controller/Images.php file. Specifically, the issue arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'ids' argument, which an attacker can manipulate to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3, indicating medium severity, with characteristics including network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vendor has been contacted but has not responded or issued a patch, and while no known exploits are currently observed in the wild, a public exploit is available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability could enable attackers to extract sensitive data, modify or delete database contents, or potentially escalate privileges depending on the database configuration and application logic. Given the administrative context of the vulnerable function, successful exploitation could compromise critical CMS data and functionality.

For European organizations using FoxCMS, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their web content and underlying data. Attackers exploiting this SQL Injection could access sensitive information such as user credentials, personal data, or proprietary content, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The ability to modify or delete database records could disrupt business operations, damage reputation, and incur regulatory penalties. Since FoxCMS is a CMS platform, organizations relying on it for public-facing websites or internal portals could face defacement, data breaches, or service outages. The lack of vendor response and patch availability increases exposure time, making European entities more vulnerable, especially those with limited internal security resources or delayed patch management processes. Additionally, the remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit lowers the barrier for attackers, including cybercriminal groups and opportunistic threat actors targeting European digital assets.

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, restrict access to the /app/admin/controller/Images.php endpoint by IP whitelisting or VPN-only access to limit exposure. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL Injection patterns targeting the 'ids' parameter. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially the 'ids' argument, if custom code modifications are feasible. Monitor logs for suspicious database queries or repeated failed attempts indicative of exploitation attempts. Consider migrating to alternative CMS platforms with active support if FoxCMS is critical and unpatched. Additionally, implement database-level protections such as least privilege accounts for the CMS database user to minimize damage scope. Regularly back up databases and test restoration procedures to recover quickly from potential data tampering or loss. Finally, maintain heightened security awareness and incident response readiness to detect and respond to exploitation attempts promptly.
