AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-12938, organizations should immediately implement input validation and sanitization on the 'keywords' parameter in /process_login.php to prevent malicious SQL code injection. Employing parameterized queries or prepared statements is essential to ensure that user input is treated as data rather than executable code. If source code modification is not feasible, deploying a web application firewall (WAF) with rules specifically targeting SQL injection patterns can provide a temporary defense. Restricting access to the vulnerable endpoint by IP whitelisting or VPN access can reduce exposure. Monitoring logs for suspicious SQL query patterns and failed login attempts can help detect exploitation attempts early. Organizations should also engage with the vendor to obtain patches or updates and plan for prompt deployment once available. Regular security assessments and code reviews of web-facing applications are recommended to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities proactively.
