CVE-2025-12610 identifies a SQL Injection vulnerability in CodeAstro Gym Management System version 1.0, located in the /admin/view-progress-report.php script. The issue stems from insufficient sanitization of the 'ID' parameter, which is used in SQL queries without proper validation or parameterization. An attacker with high privileges (authenticated admin user) can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject arbitrary SQL code. This can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion within the backend database, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited over the network. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) indicates remote network attack with low attack complexity, no user interaction, but requiring high privileges. The partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability reflects limited but significant potential damage. No patches have been linked yet, and no known exploits are currently active in the wild, but public disclosure increases the risk of future exploitation. This vulnerability is particularly relevant for organizations managing sensitive client fitness and health data through this system.

For European organizations, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive client data such as personal details, health metrics, and progress reports. This could result in privacy violations under GDPR, reputational damage, and potential regulatory fines. Data integrity could be compromised by unauthorized modification or deletion of records, affecting business operations and client trust. Availability of the gym management system could be disrupted if attackers execute destructive SQL commands, leading to downtime and operational losses. Since exploitation requires high privilege access, insider threats or compromised admin accounts pose the greatest risk. The medium severity suggests moderate urgency, but organizations in countries with strong data protection laws and high fitness industry digitalization should prioritize mitigation to avoid compliance issues and service disruption.

1. Apply official patches or updates from CodeAstro as soon as they become available. 2. Until patches are released, restrict access to the /admin/view-progress-report.php page to trusted IP addresses and enforce strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication for admin accounts. 3. Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code to prevent SQL injection. 4. Conduct regular security audits and code reviews focusing on input handling in admin modules. 5. Monitor database logs and application logs for suspicious queries or anomalies indicating attempted exploitation. 6. Educate administrators about the risks of privilege misuse and enforce the principle of least privilege. 7. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this endpoint. 8. Backup critical data regularly and verify restoration procedures to minimize impact of potential data loss.
