CVE-2025-12606 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Online Loan Management System version 1.0, specifically in the /manage_borrower.php endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the 'ID' parameter, which is susceptible to injection of arbitrary SQL commands. This allows remote attackers to execute unauthorized SQL queries against the backend database without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive loan management data. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public disclosure increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The lack of available patches or mitigations from the vendor necessitates immediate defensive measures by users. This vulnerability is critical for organizations relying on this software for financial operations, as it could enable attackers to manipulate borrower data or extract sensitive information remotely.

For European organizations, particularly those in the financial sector using the itsourcecode Online Loan Management System, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of personal and financial data of borrowers, undermining data privacy regulations such as GDPR. Integrity of loan records could be compromised, potentially causing financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties. Availability of the loan management system could also be affected if attackers execute destructive SQL commands. Given the remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit, attackers could operate from anywhere, increasing the threat landscape. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate but tangible risk that requires timely remediation to prevent data breaches and operational disruptions.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of the itsourcecode Online Loan Management System version 1.0 and isolate any exposed instances of /manage_borrower.php. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'ID' parameter, preferably using parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. If source code modification is not feasible, deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection payloads targeting this endpoint. Conduct thorough database access reviews to limit privileges and monitor for suspicious queries. Regularly back up critical data and test restoration procedures to mitigate potential data loss. Engage with the vendor for patches or updates and consider migrating to more secure loan management solutions. Additionally, perform penetration testing focused on injection flaws to identify other potential vulnerabilities.
