CVE-2025-14711 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the FantasticLBP Hotels Server, a software product used to manage hotel-related data and services. The vulnerability exists in the /controller/api/hotelList.php endpoint, where the 'pickedHotelName/type' parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This flaw enables remote exploitation without requiring authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The vulnerability affects the version identified by commit 67b44df162fab26df209bd5d5d542875fcbec1d0. The vendor follows a rolling release strategy but has not responded to vulnerability reports, and no official patch has been released. The CVSS v4.0 score is 6.9 (medium), reflecting the network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, but limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no known exploits in the wild have been reported, the public availability of an exploit increases the likelihood of future attacks. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability could extract sensitive hotel data, manipulate booking information, or disrupt service availability by executing arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database. This could lead to data breaches, financial loss, and reputational damage for affected organizations.

For European organizations, particularly those in the hospitality and tourism sectors using FantasticLBP Hotels Server, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive customer and business data, including booking details and personal information, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Data integrity could be compromised by unauthorized modifications, potentially causing operational disruptions and financial losses. Availability impacts could arise if attackers execute destructive SQL commands, leading to service outages. Given the remote, unauthenticated nature of the exploit, attackers could target multiple organizations en masse, increasing the threat landscape. The lack of vendor response and patches exacerbates the risk, forcing organizations to rely on interim mitigations. European entities with large volumes of hotel data and online booking systems are particularly vulnerable to reputational damage and regulatory penalties if exploited.

Since no official patch is available, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, deploy web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'pickedHotelName/type' parameter. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially parameters interacting with databases. Review and harden database permissions to limit the impact of potential SQL injection attacks, ensuring the application uses least privilege principles. Monitor database logs and application behavior for unusual queries or anomalies indicative of exploitation attempts. Consider isolating the affected service within segmented network zones to reduce lateral movement risks. Engage in threat hunting and incident response preparedness focused on this vulnerability. Finally, maintain communication with the vendor for updates and plan for patch deployment once available. Organizations should also review their incident response and data breach notification procedures to comply with GDPR requirements in case of compromise.
