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

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 10 Oct 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

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-2025-11584, organizations should immediately implement input validation and sanitization for the txtspecialization parameter to prevent SQL injection. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements in the /searchjob.php code to ensure user inputs are not directly concatenated into SQL commands. Conduct a thorough code review of all input handling in the application to identify and remediate similar injection points. If vendor patches become available, apply them promptly. In the absence of official patches, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable parameter. Monitor application logs and database access patterns for unusual queries or spikes in errors indicative of exploitation attempts. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of a successful injection. Regularly back up databases and test restoration procedures to minimize downtime in case of data corruption. Educate development teams on secure coding practices to prevent future injection vulnerabilities.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in code-projects Online Job Search Engine 1.0. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /searchjob.php. The manipulation of the argument txtspecialization leads to sql injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-11584 could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive recruitment data, including candidate profiles, employer information, and job listings. This breach of confidentiality may result in privacy violations under GDPR, leading to regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Integrity of the database could be compromised, allowing attackers to alter job postings or candidate details, potentially disrupting hiring processes. Availability impacts could arise if attackers execute destructive queries, causing service outages or data loss. Organizations in sectors with high recruitment activity, such as technology, finance, and manufacturing, may face operational disruptions. The public disclosure of the exploit increases the risk of automated attacks targeting vulnerable systems across Europe. Additionally, attackers could leverage this vulnerability as an initial foothold for further network intrusion or lateral movement. The medium severity rating reflects a moderate but tangible threat to European enterprises using this software without mitigation.

Summary

CVE-2025-11584 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in the code-projects Online Job Search Engine version 1.0. The vulnerability resides in the /searchjob.php script, where the txtspecialization parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw enables remote attackers to manipulate backend database queries without requiring authentication or user interaction, potentially leading to unauthorized data retrieval, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, indicating a medium severity level. The attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction needed. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited but present, as attackers can partially compromise database contents. Although no active exploitation has been reported, the public disclosure of exploit code increases the likelihood of attacks. The lack of available patches or vendor advisories necessitates immediate defensive measures. This vulnerability is critical for organizations relying on this job search engine, as it could expose sensitive candidate or employer data and disrupt recruitment services.
