CVE-2025-13783 is a SQL injection vulnerability discovered in the taosir WTCMS product, affecting the CommentadminController component, specifically the functions check, uncheck, and delete within the file application/Comment/Controller/CommentadminController.class.php. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of the 'ids' parameter, which is directly used in SQL queries without adequate sanitization or parameterization. This allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially manipulating or extracting data from the underlying database. The attack vector requires no user interaction and no authentication, increasing its risk profile. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3, indicating medium severity, with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited but present, as attackers can modify or delete comments or potentially escalate to broader database compromise depending on the backend configuration. The vendor uses a rolling release model, complicating version tracking, and has not responded to the vulnerability disclosure. Although no confirmed exploits in the wild are reported, a public proof-of-concept exploit exists, increasing the likelihood of exploitation. This vulnerability highlights the importance of secure coding practices, especially input validation and use of prepared statements in web applications.

For European organizations using taosir WTCMS, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data manipulation or disclosure through SQL injection attacks. Attackers could delete or alter user comments, potentially damaging the integrity of published content and user trust. More critically, if the database backend or application logic is insufficiently protected, attackers might escalate the attack to access sensitive data or disrupt service availability. This could lead to data breaches involving personal or business-critical information, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR), reputational damage, and operational downtime. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely, it increases the attack surface for organizations with publicly accessible WTCMS instances. The lack of vendor response and patch availability further exacerbates the risk, forcing organizations to rely on internal mitigations. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is not catastrophic, it is significant enough to warrant prompt attention to prevent exploitation.

European organizations should immediately audit their WTCMS installations to identify affected versions, focusing on the presence of the vulnerable CommentadminController component. Since no official patch is available, implement the following mitigations: 1) Apply strict input validation and sanitization on the 'ids' parameter to ensure only expected numeric or identifier formats are accepted. 2) Refactor the vulnerable code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 3) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious SQL injection patterns targeting the affected endpoints. 4) Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual query patterns or errors indicative of injection attempts. 5) Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential injection attacks. 6) Consider isolating or temporarily disabling the vulnerable comment management functions if feasible until a vendor patch or update is available. 7) Educate development and security teams on secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future. 8) Maintain regular backups of CMS data to enable recovery in case of data tampering or loss.
