CVE-2025-11585 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in the code-projects Project Monitoring System version 1.0. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function within the /useredit.php file, where the uid parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw enables remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands without authentication or user interaction, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data, data modification, or disruption of database integrity. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, reflecting a medium severity level due to its network attack vector, low complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited but significant enough to warrant attention. Although no active exploits have been reported in the wild, a public exploit is available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the Project Monitoring System, which is used for managing and tracking project progress, making it a valuable target for attackers seeking to compromise project data or disrupt operations. The lack of an official patch or vendor advisory at this time necessitates immediate mitigation efforts by users.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-11585 could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive project data, manipulation of project records, or denial of service conditions affecting project management workflows. This could result in operational disruptions, loss of competitive advantage, and potential regulatory compliance issues, especially under GDPR if personal or sensitive data is exposed. Organizations relying heavily on the affected software for critical project tracking and resource allocation may experience degraded productivity and increased risk of insider threats or external espionage. The medium severity rating indicates that while the vulnerability is not trivially exploitable to cause full system compromise, the potential for data leakage and integrity violations poses a significant risk to confidentiality and trustworthiness of project data.

Since no official patch or update is currently available, European organizations should immediately implement input validation and sanitization on the uid parameter within /useredit.php to prevent SQL injection. Employing parameterized queries or prepared statements in the codebase is critical to eliminate injection vectors. Network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) should be configured to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the uid parameter. Organizations should conduct thorough code reviews and penetration testing focused on injection flaws in the Project Monitoring System. Restricting database user privileges to the minimum necessary can limit the impact of a successful injection. Monitoring logs for suspicious query patterns and unusual database activity will aid in early detection of exploitation attempts. Finally, organizations should engage with the vendor or community to obtain patches or updates as soon as they become available and plan for timely deployment.
