CVE-2025-10668 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the itsourcecode Online Discussion Forum version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the /members/compose_msg_admin.php file, specifically related to the manipulation of the 'ID' parameter. An attacker can exploit this flaw by sending crafted input to the vulnerable parameter, which is not properly sanitized or validated, allowing malicious SQL commands to be executed on the backend database. This type of injection can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even deletion, depending on the database privileges of the application. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, categorized as medium severity, reflecting the ease of exploitation (network accessible, no privileges or user interaction required) but limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (each rated low). No known exploits have been observed in the wild yet, but public disclosure of the exploit details increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, which may limit exposure depending on the deployment footprint. However, online discussion forums often contain sensitive user data and administrative controls, making this vulnerability significant for organizations relying on this software for internal or public communications.

For European organizations using the itsourcecode Online Discussion Forum 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive user data, including private messages and administrative communications. Exploitation could lead to data leakage, manipulation of forum content, or disruption of forum services. Given the remote exploitation capability without authentication, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to gain footholds in organizational networks or conduct further attacks such as privilege escalation or lateral movement. The impact on confidentiality is moderate due to potential data exposure, while integrity and availability impacts are lower but still present. Organizations in sectors with strict data protection regulations, such as GDPR, could face compliance issues and reputational damage if sensitive personal data is compromised. Additionally, forums used for internal collaboration or customer engagement could suffer operational disruptions and loss of trust.

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately upgrade to a patched version of the itsourcecode Online Discussion Forum once available. In the absence of an official patch, applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'ID' parameter in /members/compose_msg_admin.php can reduce risk. Conducting thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially parameters used in SQL queries, is critical. Employing parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code will prevent injection attacks. Organizations should also monitor web server and database logs for suspicious activity indicative of SQL injection attempts. Restricting database user privileges to the minimum necessary can limit the potential damage of a successful exploit. Finally, regular security assessments and code reviews should be conducted to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities proactively.
