CVE-2025-15003 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in SeaCMS, a content management system, affecting versions 13.0 through 13.3. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function within the admin_video.php file, where the e_id parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This injection flaw can be exploited remotely without user interaction but requires the attacker to have high privileges, likely meaning authenticated access to the administrative interface. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent, as indicated by the CVSS vector (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L). The attack surface is limited to users with elevated privileges, reducing the ease of exploitation but still posing a significant risk if credentials are compromised or insider threats exist. No public exploits have been observed in the wild, but the exploit code has been made public, increasing the risk of future attacks. The lack of patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate defensive measures. The vulnerability could allow attackers to extract sensitive data, modify database records, or disrupt CMS functionality, potentially impacting the organization's web presence and data security.

For European organizations, the impact includes potential unauthorized access to sensitive content or administrative data managed by SeaCMS, leading to data breaches or defacement of websites. The partial compromise of confidentiality and integrity could result in leakage of user information or unauthorized content changes, damaging reputation and compliance with regulations such as GDPR. Availability impacts, though limited, could disrupt content delivery or administrative operations. Organizations relying on SeaCMS for critical public-facing services or internal communications may face operational disruptions. The requirement for high privileges limits the threat to insiders or attackers who have already compromised credentials, but the public availability of exploit code increases the risk of exploitation. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate but non-negligible risk, warranting prompt attention especially in sectors with stringent data protection requirements.

1. Immediately restrict access to the SeaCMS administrative interface (admin_video.php) using network-level controls such as VPNs, IP whitelisting, or firewall rules to limit exposure. 2. Enforce strong authentication mechanisms and monitor for suspicious login activities to prevent unauthorized access to high-privilege accounts. 3. Implement input validation and parameterized queries within SeaCMS code if source modification is possible, focusing on sanitizing the e_id parameter. 4. Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the e_id parameter. 5. Regularly audit and monitor database logs for unusual queries or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 6. Stay alert for official patches or updates from SeaCMS developers and apply them promptly once available. 7. Conduct security awareness training for administrators to recognize phishing or credential theft attempts that could lead to privilege escalation. 8. Consider isolating SeaCMS instances in segmented network zones to limit lateral movement in case of compromise.
