CVE-2025-13422 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the freeprojectscodes Sports Club Management System version 1.0, specifically within the /dashboard/admin/change_s_pwd.php script. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the login_id parameter, which is directly used in SQL queries. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter without authentication or user interaction, injecting malicious SQL code that the database executes. This can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system's data. The vulnerability is classified with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting its network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction. The exploit code has been publicly disclosed, although no active exploitation in the wild has been reported yet. The absence of patches or vendor advisories necessitates immediate mitigation efforts by users. The vulnerability's presence in a sports club management system means that sensitive member data, credentials, and operational information could be exposed or altered, potentially disrupting club operations and damaging trust.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-13422 could result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive member and administrative data, including personal information and credentials. Data integrity could be compromised, allowing attackers to alter records, potentially causing operational disruptions or fraudulent activities within sports clubs. Availability impacts could arise if attackers execute destructive SQL commands, leading to downtime or loss of critical data. Given the remote and unauthenticated nature of the attack, any exposed installation of the affected software is at risk. This could lead to reputational damage, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR breaches), and financial losses. Sports clubs and related organizations in Europe that rely on this system for membership management, scheduling, or financial transactions are particularly vulnerable. The public availability of exploit code increases the likelihood of opportunistic attacks, especially from automated scanning and exploitation tools.

Organizations should immediately audit their deployments of freeprojectscodes Sports Club Management System version 1.0 to identify vulnerable instances. Since no official patch is currently available, developers or administrators should implement input validation and sanitization for the login_id parameter, ideally replacing dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent injection. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of any injection. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with SQL injection detection rules to provide temporary protection. Monitor logs for suspicious activity targeting the vulnerable endpoint. Consider isolating or restricting network access to the management dashboard to trusted IPs. Plan for an update or migration to a patched version once available. Additionally, conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on injection flaws. Educate administrators about the risks and signs of exploitation to enable rapid incident response.
