Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 12 Nov 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Immediate code audit and remediation: Review the /view_survey.php file and implement parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 2. Input validation: Enforce strict validation and sanitization of the 'ID' parameter, ensuring only expected numeric or alphanumeric values are accepted. 3. Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy or update WAF rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable parameter. 4. Monitoring and logging: Enable detailed logging of database queries and web requests to identify suspicious activities promptly. 5. Access controls: Restrict access to the survey application to trusted networks or authenticated users where feasible to reduce exposure. 6. Incident response readiness: Prepare to respond to potential exploitation attempts by establishing procedures for containment and recovery. 7. Vendor engagement: Monitor SourceCodester communications for official patches or updates and apply them promptly once available. 8. Alternative solutions: Consider migrating to more secure and actively maintained survey platforms if remediation is not feasible in the short term.

Description

A security vulnerability has been detected in SourceCodester Survey Application System 1.0. This affects an unknown function of the file /view_survey.php. Such manipulation of the argument ID leads to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-13060 could be significant, especially for entities relying on the SourceCodester Survey Application System for data collection and analysis. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive survey data, potentially exposing personal or proprietary information, which may violate GDPR and other data protection regulations. Data integrity could be compromised, leading to inaccurate survey results and flawed decision-making. Availability impacts could disrupt survey operations, affecting business continuity. Organizations in sectors such as market research, healthcare, education, and public administration that utilize survey tools are particularly at risk. The lack of authentication and user interaction requirements means attackers can exploit this remotely and at scale, increasing the threat surface. Although no known exploits are currently active, the public disclosure heightens the urgency for European organizations to assess their exposure and implement mitigations to avoid reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and operational disruptions.
