CVE-2025-12932 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in SourceCodester Baby Care System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the /admin.php?id=inbox endpoint, where the msgid parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw can be exploited remotely but requires the attacker to have high privilege authentication, indicating that only users with administrative or elevated rights can trigger the injection. The injection could allow attackers to manipulate backend SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, though the impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is considered limited (low). The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates no user interaction is needed, no privileges are required to initiate the attack, but the attack requires high privileges (PR:H), and the overall score is 5.1 (medium severity). No known exploits are currently active in the wild, but the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation attempts. The lack of patches at the time of disclosure means organizations must rely on interim mitigations such as input validation and strict access controls. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the Baby Care System, limiting the scope of affected systems. The system is likely used in healthcare or childcare management contexts, where data sensitivity is high, making exploitation potentially impactful despite the medium severity rating.

For European organizations, especially those in healthcare or childcare sectors using SourceCodester Baby Care System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data access or manipulation. Although exploitation requires high privilege authentication, insider threats or compromised admin accounts could leverage this flaw to extract sensitive patient or child care data, undermining confidentiality and integrity. Data tampering could also disrupt service availability or lead to incorrect care decisions. The medium severity rating reflects limited impact scope and the need for elevated privileges, but the public disclosure increases the likelihood of targeted attacks. Organizations failing to mitigate this vulnerability may face regulatory penalties under GDPR due to potential data breaches. The impact is more pronounced in environments where this software is integrated with other critical systems or contains sensitive personal data. Disruption or data loss could affect operational continuity and trust in healthcare services.

1. Apply official patches or updates from SourceCodester as soon as they become available to address the SQL injection vulnerability directly. 2. Until patches are released, implement strict input validation and sanitization on the msgid parameter to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. 3. Restrict administrative access to the Baby Care System to trusted personnel only and enforce strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication, to reduce the risk of compromised credentials. 4. Monitor logs for unusual or suspicious activity related to the /admin.php?id=inbox endpoint, focusing on SQL errors or unexpected query patterns. 5. Employ web application firewalls (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable parameter. 6. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate similar injection flaws. 7. Educate administrators and users about the risks of privilege misuse and the importance of secure credential management. 8. Segment the Baby Care System network to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. 9. Maintain regular backups of critical data to enable recovery in case of data integrity issues.
