CVE-2025-14897 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in CodeAstro Real Estate Management System version 1.0, specifically within an unknown function of the /admin/useragentdelete.php file, part of the Administrator Endpoint component. This vulnerability allows an attacker to remotely manipulate SQL queries by injecting malicious input, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requires low attack complexity (AC:L), no user interaction (UI:N), but requires high privileges (PR:H) to exploit. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited but present (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). The vulnerability does not involve scope change or security requirements (SC:N, SI:N, SA:N). Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, proof-of-concept code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, which is used primarily in real estate management contexts. The lack of vendor patches at the time of publication increases exposure. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation or sanitization in the administrator endpoint, allowing SQL injection attacks that can compromise backend databases. Given the administrative nature of the endpoint, attackers with valid credentials could leverage this flaw to escalate privileges or extract sensitive data.

For European organizations, particularly those in the real estate sector using CodeAstro Real Estate Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive client and property data, potentially leading to data breaches and regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. The SQL injection could allow attackers to manipulate or delete critical data, disrupting business operations and damaging reputation. Since exploitation requires high privileges, the threat is primarily from insider threats or compromised administrative accounts. However, the availability of public exploits increases the risk of external attackers leveraging stolen credentials. The impact extends to potential financial losses, legal liabilities, and erosion of customer trust. Additionally, disruption of real estate management services could affect transaction processing and client management, impacting business continuity. Organizations in Europe must consider the regulatory implications of data exposure and the operational risks associated with this vulnerability.

Organizations should immediately restrict access to the /admin/useragentdelete.php endpoint to trusted administrators only, ideally via network segmentation and VPNs. Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection. Monitor logs for unusual administrative activity and failed SQL queries indicative of injection attempts. Apply vendor patches promptly once available; if patches are not yet released, consider temporary workarounds such as disabling the vulnerable functionality or restricting its use. Enforce strong authentication mechanisms and regularly audit administrative accounts to prevent credential compromise. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this endpoint. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on administrative interfaces. Finally, maintain an incident response plan to quickly address any exploitation attempts.
