CVE-2025-14900 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the CodeAstro Real Estate Management System, specifically within the /admin/userdelete.php script of the Administrator Endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'ID' parameter, which is used in SQL queries to delete user records. An attacker with administrative privileges can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require the attacker to have high-level privileges (PR:H), limiting exploitation to insiders or compromised admin accounts. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no authentication required (AT:N), and no user interaction (UI:N), but the privilege requirement reduces the overall risk. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is low to moderate, as the attacker can alter or extract data from the database. No patches or exploit code are currently publicly available, but the vulnerability disclosure increases the risk of future exploitation. The lack of scope change (SC:N) means the attack affects only the vulnerable component without impacting other system components.

For European organizations, especially those in the real estate sector using CodeAstro Real Estate Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses risks of unauthorized data access, data tampering, and potential disruption of administrative functions. Compromise could lead to leakage of sensitive client information, manipulation of user accounts, or deletion of critical data, impacting business operations and regulatory compliance, including GDPR. The requirement for administrative privileges reduces the likelihood of external attackers exploiting this vulnerability directly but raises concerns about insider threats or compromised admin credentials. The medium severity indicates a moderate risk level, but the potential damage to data integrity and confidentiality could have significant reputational and financial consequences. Organizations relying on this software should assess their exposure and implement compensating controls immediately.

1. Apply vendor-provided patches or updates as soon as they become available to address the SQL injection vulnerability. 2. Restrict administrative access to the Real Estate Management System to trusted personnel only, using strong authentication mechanisms such as multi-factor authentication (MFA). 3. Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code to prevent SQL injection. 4. Conduct regular security audits and code reviews focusing on input handling in administrative endpoints. 5. Monitor database logs and application behavior for unusual queries or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 6. Employ network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access to administrative interfaces from untrusted networks. 7. Educate administrators about phishing and credential security to reduce the risk of account compromise. 8. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with SQL injection detection capabilities as an additional protective layer.
