CVE-2025-15184 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the Refugee Food Management System version 1.0 developed by code-projects. The vulnerability is located in an unspecified function within the /home/refugeesreport2.php file, where the input parameter 'a' is not properly sanitized or validated before being used in SQL queries. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands by manipulating the 'a' parameter, potentially leading to unauthorized data disclosure, data modification, or even full compromise of the underlying database. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or privileges, making it easier to exploit. The CVSS 4.0 score is 6.9, reflecting a medium severity due to the lack of authentication but limited scope and impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patches or fixes have been publicly linked yet, and no known exploits are reported in the wild, but the exploit code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The Refugee Food Management System is typically used by organizations managing food distribution for refugees, making the data highly sensitive. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability could access personal data, disrupt food supply chain records, or manipulate reports, undermining humanitarian efforts. The vulnerability highlights the critical need for secure coding practices, especially in applications handling sensitive humanitarian data.

For European organizations, particularly NGOs, government agencies, and humanitarian groups managing refugee food distribution, this vulnerability poses significant risks. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive personal data of refugees, including dietary needs, locations, and distribution records, violating privacy regulations such as GDPR. Data integrity could be compromised, resulting in incorrect food allocation or reporting, potentially causing harm to vulnerable populations. Availability impacts could disrupt food management operations, delaying aid delivery. The public availability of exploit code increases the likelihood of attacks, especially from opportunistic threat actors or hacktivists targeting refugee support systems. The reputational damage and regulatory penalties from data breaches could be severe. Additionally, compromised systems could be leveraged as pivot points for further attacks within organizational networks. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate but actionable threat that requires timely mitigation to prevent exploitation.

1. Conduct an immediate code audit focusing on the /home/refugeesreport2.php file to identify and sanitize all inputs, especially the 'a' parameter. 2. Refactor database queries to use prepared statements or parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection. 3. Implement strict input validation and output encoding to ensure only expected data types and formats are accepted. 4. Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this endpoint. 5. Monitor logs for unusual query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable parameter. 6. Restrict access to the vulnerable script by IP whitelisting or VPN where feasible, limiting exposure. 7. Develop and deploy patches promptly once available from the vendor or community. 8. Educate developers and administrators on secure coding practices and the importance of input validation. 9. Regularly update and test backups to ensure rapid recovery in case of data compromise. 10. Coordinate with humanitarian IT networks to share threat intelligence and mitigation strategies.
