CVE-2025-15012 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the Refugee Food Management System version 1.0 developed by code-projects. The vulnerability exists in an unspecified function within the /home/home.php file, where the argument 'a' is improperly sanitized, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This injection can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion within the underlying database. The attack vector is network-based with no required privileges or user interaction, making exploitation straightforward once the system is accessible. The vulnerability affects confidentiality by potentially exposing sensitive data, integrity by allowing unauthorized data manipulation, and availability by enabling destructive queries. Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public disclosure of exploit details increases the risk of exploitation by threat actors. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates low complexity, no authentication, and no user interaction, with partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The Refugee Food Management System is likely used by organizations managing food distribution for displaced populations, making the data and service critical. The lack of available patches necessitates immediate mitigation through input validation and other protective measures.

For European organizations, especially NGOs, government agencies, and humanitarian groups managing refugee food distribution, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive personal data of refugees, disruption of food supply logistics, and potential manipulation of resource allocation data. This could undermine trust, cause operational delays, and expose organizations to regulatory penalties under GDPR due to data breaches. The impact extends to service availability, potentially interrupting critical aid delivery. Given the public disclosure and ease of exploitation, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause reputational damage or gain footholds for further network intrusion. Organizations relying on this system without timely mitigation are at heightened risk of targeted attacks, especially in countries with large refugee populations or active humanitarian operations.

Organizations should immediately conduct a thorough code audit focusing on the /home/home.php file to identify and sanitize all inputs, especially the argument 'a'. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this system. Monitor database logs and application behavior for anomalous queries or access patterns. Restrict network access to the management system to trusted IPs and implement network segmentation to limit exposure. Regularly update and patch the system once official fixes become available. Conduct security awareness training for developers and administrators on secure coding practices. Additionally, implement comprehensive backup and recovery procedures to mitigate potential data loss or corruption from exploitation.
