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: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
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 2026-10-25.

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

To mitigate CVE-2025-11557, organizations should first seek any official patches or updates from projectworlds and apply them promptly once available. In the absence of patches, immediate steps include implementing web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'fullname' parameter in /add-pass.php. Input validation and sanitization should be enforced at the application level, ensuring that all user inputs are properly escaped or parameterized before database queries. Restricting database user permissions to the minimum necessary can limit the impact of a successful injection. Network segmentation and limiting access to the Gate Pass Management System to trusted internal networks can reduce exposure. Regular monitoring and logging of database queries and application logs should be enhanced to detect anomalous activities indicative of injection attempts. Finally, organizations should conduct security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities to identify and remediate similar weaknesses proactively.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in projectworlds Gate Pass Management System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /add-pass.php. Such manipulation of the argument fullname leads to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

The exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability can have significant consequences for organizations using the affected Gate Pass Management System. Attackers could gain unauthorized access to sensitive data such as personnel identities, access logs, and security credentials, compromising confidentiality. They may also alter or delete records, impacting data integrity and potentially disrupting access control operations, which affects availability. This could lead to unauthorized physical access if gate pass data is manipulated or falsified. The breach of sensitive access control information may also facilitate further attacks on the organization’s infrastructure. Given the remote exploitability without authentication, the vulnerability poses a risk of widespread exploitation, especially in environments where the system is exposed to untrusted networks or the internet. The lack of patches increases the urgency for organizations to implement alternative mitigations to protect their systems.

Summary

CVE-2025-11557 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the projectworlds Gate Pass Management System version 1.0, specifically in the /add-pass.php endpoint. The vulnerability arises from insufficient sanitization or validation of the 'fullname' parameter, which is directly used in SQL queries without proper parameterization or escaping. This allows an attacker to craft malicious input that alters the intended SQL command, potentially enabling unauthorized retrieval, modification, or deletion of database records. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS 4.0 score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the ease of exploitation and the potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system's data. Although no public patches have been linked, the disclosure of the exploit details means attackers can develop or use existing tools to exploit this flaw. The Gate Pass Management System is typically used to control and monitor personnel or vehicle access, making the integrity and confidentiality of its data critical for organizational security and operational continuity.
