CVE-2025-12932 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in SourceCodester Baby Care System version 1.0. The vulnerability resides in the /admin.php script, specifically in the 'msgid' parameter used in the inbox functionality. An attacker with high privileges can remotely manipulate the 'msgid' parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially altering database queries. This could allow unauthorized reading, modification, or deletion of sensitive data stored within the backend database. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require the attacker to have authenticated access with elevated privileges, which somewhat limits the attack vector. The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.1 reflects a medium severity, considering the network attack vector, low complexity, no user interaction, but requiring privileges. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, although no known exploits are currently active in the wild. The lack of available patches at the time of disclosure increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls. The affected product is niche software used for managing baby care services, which may be deployed in healthcare or childcare organizations. The vulnerability could lead to data breaches involving sensitive personal or medical information, impacting confidentiality and integrity, and potentially causing service disruptions. The absence of scope change means the impact is contained within the vulnerable component. The vulnerability highlights the importance of secure coding practices such as input validation and use of parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks.

For European organizations, especially those in healthcare, childcare, or social services sectors using SourceCodester Baby Care System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized database access and data manipulation. Compromise could lead to exposure of sensitive personal and medical data, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal and financial penalties. Integrity of records could be undermined, affecting patient care or service delivery. Availability may also be impacted if attackers modify or delete critical data, disrupting operations. Given the requirement for high privileges, the threat is more significant if internal accounts are compromised or if administrative credentials are weak or reused. The public disclosure increases the risk of opportunistic attacks, especially if patches are not promptly applied. European organizations with limited cybersecurity resources or lacking strict access controls are particularly vulnerable. The reputational damage from a breach involving sensitive childcare data could be substantial, affecting trust and compliance status.

1. Restrict access to the /admin.php interface to trusted administrators only, using network segmentation, VPNs, or IP whitelisting. 2. Enforce strong authentication and authorization controls to ensure only legitimate high-privilege users can access vulnerable functionality. 3. Implement input validation and use parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code to prevent SQL injection. 4. Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual queries or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 5. Apply security patches or updates from SourceCodester as soon as they become available. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and code reviews focusing on injection vulnerabilities. 7. Educate administrators about the risks of credential compromise and enforce multi-factor authentication where possible. 8. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'msgid' parameter. 9. Backup critical data regularly and verify the integrity of backups to enable recovery in case of data tampering or loss.
