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: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
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

CVE published 17 Nov 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

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

Immediate mitigation should focus on input validation and sanitization of the 'ID' parameter in /profilefriends.php to prevent SQL injection. Developers should implement parameterized queries or prepared statements to safely handle user input. Until official patches are released, organizations should conduct code reviews and apply custom fixes to the vulnerable function. Restricting access to the affected endpoint through web application firewalls (WAFs) or network segmentation can reduce exposure. Monitoring logs for unusual database queries or access patterns can help detect exploitation attempts. Additionally, organizations should consider migrating to updated or alternative social networking platforms with active security support. Regular backups and incident response plans should be in place to recover from potential data compromise. Finally, educating developers on secure coding practices will help prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future.

Description

A vulnerability was found in code-projects Nero Social Networking Site 1.0. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /profilefriends.php. Performing manipulation of the argument ID results in sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Impact

For European organizations using Nero Social Networking Site 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data access and manipulation, potentially exposing sensitive user information and damaging organizational reputation. The SQL injection could allow attackers to extract personal data, modify user relationships, or corrupt the social network's database, leading to service disruption. Given the social networking context, data confidentiality and integrity are paramount, and breaches could result in regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. The medium severity score indicates moderate risk, but the public availability of exploit code increases the likelihood of attacks. Organizations with public-facing installations are particularly vulnerable, and exploitation could facilitate further lateral movement or persistent access within the network. The lack of authentication requirements lowers the barrier for attackers, increasing the threat to European entities relying on this platform for community engagement or customer interaction.

Summary

CVE-2025-13279 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the Nero Social Networking Site version 1.0, specifically within the /profilefriends.php script. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'ID' parameter, which an attacker can manipulate to inject malicious SQL statements. This injection flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability's CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3, reflecting a medium severity level due to its network attack vector, low complexity, and no privileges or user interaction needed. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is low to medium, as the attacker can potentially read, modify, or delete data depending on the database permissions. Although no known exploits are active in the wild, public disclosure of exploit code increases the risk of exploitation. The absence of official patches or vendor advisories necessitates immediate remediation by developers or administrators. This vulnerability is critical for organizations running this specific social networking platform, especially those exposing the affected endpoint to the internet. Attackers could leverage this flaw to compromise user data, disrupt service, or pivot to further internal attacks.
