CVE-2025-10599 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Web-Based Internet Laboratory Management System. The flaw resides in the User::AuthenticateUser function within the login.php file, specifically through manipulation of the user_email parameter. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious SQL code, potentially bypassing authentication mechanisms or extracting sensitive data from the backend database. The vulnerability is exploitable without any user interaction or privileges, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N). The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is rated as low individually but combined can lead to significant compromise of the system. The exploit code has been publicly released, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no confirmed active exploitation in the wild has been reported yet. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, which is a web-based laboratory management system likely used in academic, research, or industrial laboratory environments to manage experiments, data, and user access.

For European organizations, especially those in academic institutions, research centers, and industrial laboratories using the itsourcecode Web-Based Internet Laboratory Management System, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive laboratory data, manipulation of experimental results, or disruption of laboratory operations. This could compromise research integrity, intellectual property, and potentially lead to regulatory non-compliance if personal or sensitive data is exposed. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the vulnerability increases the attack surface, making it easier for threat actors to target these organizations. Given the critical role laboratories play in innovation and public health, exploitation could have broader implications beyond the immediate technical impact.

Organizations should immediately assess their use of the itsourcecode Web-Based Internet Laboratory Management System version 1.0 and prioritize upgrading to a patched or newer version once available. In the absence of an official patch, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the user_email parameter. Conduct thorough input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the authentication code to prevent injection. Additionally, monitor authentication logs for unusual login attempts or anomalies indicative of exploitation attempts. Restrict network access to the management system to trusted IP ranges where possible, and enforce strong network segmentation to limit lateral movement if compromised. Regular security audits and penetration testing focused on injection flaws should be conducted to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities proactively.
