CVE-2025-14585 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in the itsourcecode COVID Tracking System version 1.0. The flaw exists in the /admin/?page=zone endpoint, where the ID parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL commands. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction, making it particularly dangerous. The injection could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, modification, or deletion within the backend database, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. The CVSS 4.0 score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the vulnerability's potential impact and ease of exploitation. Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public availability of exploit code increases the risk of attacks. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the software, and no official patches have been published yet. The COVID Tracking System is used to monitor and manage COVID-19 related data, making the integrity and confidentiality of this data critical for public health responses. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability could manipulate tracking data, disrupt operations, or gain access to sensitive personal health information.

For European organizations, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to significant data breaches involving sensitive health information, undermining public trust and violating data protection regulations such as GDPR. Unauthorized modification of COVID tracking data could distort public health metrics, impacting decision-making and response efforts. Service disruptions caused by database manipulation could impair the functionality of COVID tracking systems, delaying critical health interventions. The remote, unauthenticated nature of the attack vector increases the likelihood of exploitation, especially in organizations that have not restricted access to the admin interface or implemented adequate input validation. Given the importance of COVID data in managing public health, the impact extends beyond IT systems to societal health outcomes and regulatory compliance risks.

Organizations should immediately implement strict input validation and sanitization on the ID parameter in the /admin/?page=zone endpoint to prevent SQL injection. Employing parameterized queries or prepared statements is critical to eliminate injection vectors. Access to the admin interface should be restricted using network segmentation, VPNs, or IP whitelisting to reduce exposure. Monitoring and logging of database queries and admin access can help detect exploitation attempts early. Since no official patch is currently available, organizations should consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to block suspicious SQL injection payloads targeting this endpoint. Regular security assessments and code reviews of the COVID Tracking System should be conducted to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Finally, organizations should prepare incident response plans specific to data breaches involving health information to minimize impact if exploitation occurs.
