CVE-2025-13300 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Web-Based Internet Laboratory Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function within the /settings/controller.php file, which processes user input in a manner that allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This injection flaw enables remote attackers to manipulate backend database queries without requiring authentication or user interaction, potentially exposing sensitive data or altering database contents. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed on November 17, 2025, and while no active exploits have been reported in the wild, the availability of exploit details increases the risk of attack. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the attack can be performed remotely (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N). The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited but present (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L), reflecting partial compromise possibilities. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, which is a specialized web-based laboratory management system used to manage and control laboratory resources and data. The lack of patches or official mitigation guidance at the time of disclosure necessitates immediate attention from affected organizations. The vulnerability's exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data modification, or denial of service through database manipulation, threatening the operational integrity of laboratory management workflows.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-13300 depends largely on the extent of itsourcecode Web-Based Internet Laboratory Management System deployment. Organizations in research, academic, and clinical laboratory environments that rely on this system could face data breaches involving sensitive experimental or patient data, leading to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. The integrity of laboratory data could be compromised, affecting research outcomes or clinical decisions. Availability disruptions could delay laboratory operations, impacting productivity and service delivery. The remote, unauthenticated nature of the vulnerability increases the risk of exploitation by external threat actors, including cybercriminals or state-sponsored groups targeting intellectual property or sensitive health data. Although the product is niche, the criticality of laboratory data in European research and healthcare sectors elevates the potential impact. Additionally, the public disclosure of the exploit code may lead to opportunistic attacks, increasing the urgency for mitigation.

European organizations should immediately assess their exposure to the affected itsourcecode Web-Based Internet Laboratory Management System version 1.0. Since no official patches are currently available, organizations should implement the following mitigations: 1) Conduct a thorough code review of the /settings/controller.php file to identify and fix the SQL injection flaw by employing parameterized queries or prepared statements. 2) Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially those interacting with database queries. 3) Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 4) Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual query patterns or errors indicative of injection attempts. 5) Restrict network access to the management system to trusted IP ranges where possible, reducing exposure to external attackers. 6) Consider isolating the laboratory management system within segmented network zones to limit lateral movement if compromised. 7) Plan for an upgrade or replacement of the affected software once a vendor patch or secure version is released. 8) Educate IT and security teams about the vulnerability and signs of exploitation to enable rapid incident response.
