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), CVSS vector, 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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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

To mitigate CVE-2025-11474, organizations should immediately implement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'Name' parameter in /edit_booking.php to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements to ensure that user input cannot alter SQL command structure. Conduct a thorough code review of all database interaction points to identify and remediate similar injection risks. If patches become available from the vendor, apply them promptly. In the absence of official patches, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint. Monitor database logs and application behavior for unusual queries or errors indicative of exploitation attempts. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of any successful injection. Regularly back up databases to enable recovery in case of data corruption or deletion. Finally, raise awareness among IT and security teams about this vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include scenarios involving SQL injection attacks.

Description

A vulnerability was found in SourceCodester Hotel and Lodge Management System 1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /edit_booking.php. Performing manipulation of the argument Name results in sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Impact

European organizations using SourceCodester Hotel and Lodge Management System 1.0, particularly in the hospitality and lodging sectors, face risks including unauthorized disclosure of customer and booking information, data tampering, and potential service disruption. Confidentiality could be compromised by attackers extracting sensitive personal and payment data stored in the database. Integrity risks include unauthorized modification or deletion of booking records, which could lead to operational confusion and financial loss. Availability might be impacted if attackers execute destructive SQL commands or cause database errors. Given the remote exploitability without authentication, attackers can launch attacks from anywhere, increasing exposure. The medium severity suggests moderate but tangible risks, especially for organizations lacking compensating controls. The public availability of exploit code raises the urgency for mitigation to prevent exploitation by opportunistic attackers. The impact is amplified in countries with high tourism volumes and reliance on digital booking systems, where disruptions could affect reputation and regulatory compliance with data protection laws such as GDPR.

Summary

CVE-2025-11474 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the SourceCodester Hotel and Lodge Management System, specifically in the /edit_booking.php endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'Name' parameter, which allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands remotely without authentication or user interaction. This injection flaw can be exploited to manipulate backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3, reflecting medium severity due to its remote exploitability and lack of required privileges, but limited impact scope and partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no active exploits have been observed in the wild, the public disclosure of exploit code increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The attack complexity is low, and no user interaction is needed, making it a viable threat vector for attackers targeting hospitality management systems. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the software, and no official patches have been linked yet. The lack of proper input validation and use of unsafe SQL query construction are the root causes. This vulnerability could be leveraged to extract sensitive booking data, alter reservation details, or disrupt hotel operations, impacting business continuity and customer trust.
