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 2026-10-26.

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

Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, restrict external access to the Ghost Hot Spot management interfaces by applying strict firewall rules and network segmentation to limit exposure. Second, deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting /Auth.php endpoints. Third, conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data if customization or internal development is possible. Fourth, enable detailed logging and continuous monitoring of authentication-related activities to detect anomalous queries or repeated failed login attempts indicative of exploitation attempts. Fifth, consider isolating or replacing the affected Ghost Hot Spot component with alternative solutions if feasible. Lastly, maintain up-to-date backups and develop incident response plans specific to SQL injection attacks to minimize downtime and data loss. Organizations should also engage with cybersecurity communities to share indicators of compromise and monitor for emerging exploits.

Description

A flaw has been found in Serdar Bayram Ghost Hot Spot up to 20251014. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /Auth.php of the component Login. This manipulation causes sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Impact

For European organizations, exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability could result in unauthorized access to sensitive authentication data or user credentials managed by Ghost Hot Spot. This could facilitate lateral movement within networks, data exfiltration, or disruption of network access services. Organizations in sectors such as telecommunications, public Wi-Fi providers, and enterprises relying on Ghost Hot Spot for network authentication are at heightened risk. The lack of vendor patches increases the window of exposure, potentially allowing attackers to develop and deploy automated exploits. Data breaches resulting from this vulnerability could lead to regulatory penalties under GDPR due to compromised personal data. Additionally, service disruptions could impact business continuity and customer trust. The medium severity rating suggests a significant but not critical threat; however, the ease of remote exploitation without authentication elevates the urgency for mitigation. European organizations with limited incident response capabilities or outdated network segmentation may face amplified impacts.

Summary

CVE-2025-12342 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in Serdar Bayram Ghost Hot Spot versions up to 20251014. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function within the /Auth.php file of the Login component, which processes user authentication requests. Due to improper sanitization or validation of input parameters, an attacker can remotely inject malicious SQL code into backend database queries. This injection can lead to unauthorized data retrieval, modification, or deletion, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and potentially availability of the system. The attack vector requires no authentication or user interaction, increasing the risk of automated exploitation. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting its network accessibility, low attack complexity, and lack of required privileges. Although an exploit has been published, no active exploitation has been observed in the wild. The vendor has not issued any patches or advisories, leaving users exposed. The absence of vendor response complicates remediation efforts, emphasizing the need for defensive controls and monitoring. This vulnerability is particularly concerning for environments where Ghost Hot Spot manages critical authentication or network access functions, as compromise could lead to broader network infiltration or data breaches.
