CVE-2025-15185 is an SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the Refugee Food Management System version 1.0 developed by code-projects. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified functionality within the /home/refugeesreport.php file, where the 'a' parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code remotely. This flaw does not require authentication or user interaction, making it accessible to any remote attacker. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting its network attack vector, low complexity, and no privileges or user interaction required. Exploiting this vulnerability could enable attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data stored in the backend database, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. Although no active exploits are reported in the wild, the public availability of exploit code increases the risk of exploitation. The Refugee Food Management System is typically used by organizations managing food distribution for refugees, making the data involved sensitive and critical. The vulnerability's presence in a critical humanitarian aid system raises concerns about potential disruption or data breaches affecting vulnerable populations. The lack of available patches necessitates immediate mitigation through secure coding practices and system hardening.

For European organizations, especially NGOs, government agencies, and humanitarian groups managing refugee food distribution, this vulnerability poses significant risks. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive personal and logistical data, undermining privacy and operational security. Data integrity could be compromised, resulting in incorrect food distribution records or denial of service through database manipulation. Such disruptions could affect the welfare of refugees, damage organizational reputation, and lead to regulatory penalties under GDPR due to data breaches. The vulnerability's remote and unauthenticated nature increases the likelihood of exploitation by cybercriminals or state-sponsored actors targeting humanitarian operations. Additionally, the public availability of exploit code lowers the barrier for attackers, potentially increasing attack frequency. The impact extends beyond data loss to operational disruption in critical humanitarian services across Europe.

European organizations should immediately audit their Refugee Food Management System deployments to identify affected versions. Until official patches are released, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all parameters, especially the 'a' parameter in refugeesreport.php. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. Restrict network access to the vulnerable endpoint using firewalls or web application firewalls (WAF) with specific SQL injection detection and blocking rules. Monitor logs for suspicious database queries or unusual access patterns. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection flaws. Engage with the vendor or community for updates and patches, and plan for prompt application once available. Consider isolating the system within a segmented network zone to limit potential lateral movement if compromised. Educate staff on the risks and signs of exploitation to enhance detection and response capabilities.
