Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Since no official patches are currently available, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include applying strict input validation and sanitization on the 'currcode' parameter, ideally using parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. Restrict access to the /pages/save_curr.php endpoint through network segmentation, firewalls, or web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection attempts. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing of the application to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Monitor logs for suspicious database query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. If feasible, consider temporarily disabling or restricting the vulnerable functionality until a vendor patch is released. Additionally, ensure regular backups of the database are maintained to enable recovery in case of data corruption or loss. Educate development and IT teams about secure coding practices to prevent recurrence.

Description

A flaw has been found in SourceCodester Hotel and Lodge Management System 1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /pages/save_curr.php. This manipulation of the argument currcode causes sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations, especially those in the hospitality sector using SourceCodester Hotel and Lodge Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a tangible risk of unauthorized database access and manipulation. Potential impacts include exposure of sensitive customer information such as personal identification and payment details, which could lead to privacy violations and regulatory penalties under GDPR. Data integrity could be compromised, affecting reservation records and financial transactions, potentially causing operational disruptions and reputational damage. Availability could be affected if attackers execute destructive SQL commands or cause database corruption. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the attack surface, making it easier for threat actors to target multiple organizations. The publication of exploit code further elevates the risk of opportunistic attacks. European hospitality businesses, which often handle large volumes of personal data and financial transactions, must consider this vulnerability a priority to avoid compliance issues and financial losses.

Summary

CVE-2025-11401 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in the SourceCodester Hotel and Lodge Management System version 1.0, specifically within the /pages/save_curr.php script. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the 'currcode' parameter, which is susceptible to SQL injection due to lack of adequate input validation or use of parameterized queries. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to manipulate SQL queries executed by the backend database, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3, indicating medium severity, with attack vector being network-based and no user interaction required. The exploit is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation despite no current reports of active attacks. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent, as the scope is confined to the affected system and the privilege required is low. The absence of patches or vendor advisories necessitates immediate defensive measures by users of this software. Given the critical role of hotel management systems in handling sensitive customer and operational data, exploitation could lead to data breaches, financial fraud, or operational disruptions.
