CVE-2025-44193: n/a in n/a
SourceCodester Simple Barangay Management System v1.0 has a SQL injection vulnerability in /barangay_management/admin/?page=view_complaint.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-44193 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability identified in SourceCodester Simple Barangay Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists specifically in the web application endpoint /barangay_management/admin/?page=view_complaint. SQL injection (CWE-89) vulnerabilities occur when untrusted input is improperly sanitized and directly included in SQL queries, allowing an attacker to manipulate the database queries executed by the application. In this case, the injection point is within the administrative interface, which likely requires some level of authentication (as indicated by the CVSS vector's PR:L - privileges required). The CVSS score of 7.6 reflects a high impact on confidentiality (C:H), with limited impact on integrity (I:L) and availability (A:L). The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no user interaction required (UI:N), and unchanged scope (S:U). Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability presents a significant risk due to the potential for unauthorized data disclosure from the backend database. The lack of vendor or product details beyond the application name and version limits the scope of public mitigation guidance, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability was reserved and published in April 2025, indicating it is a recent discovery.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability depends on the adoption of the Simple Barangay Management System or similar systems derived from it. While the product name suggests a focus on local government or community management (barangay is a Filipino term for a village or district), any European entities using this system or similar vulnerable software could face unauthorized disclosure of sensitive complaint data or other administrative information. The high confidentiality impact means that personal data, potentially including citizen complaints or administrative records, could be exposed, violating GDPR requirements and leading to regulatory penalties. The limited integrity and availability impacts suggest that while data modification or service disruption is less likely, the breach of confidentiality alone is significant. Attackers with low privileges but network access could exploit this vulnerability remotely without user interaction, increasing the risk of automated or targeted attacks. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate it, especially as proof-of-concept exploits may emerge soon after publication.
Mitigation Recommendations
European organizations should immediately assess whether they deploy the Simple Barangay Management System v1.0 or any derivatives. Since no official patches are currently available, organizations should implement compensating controls such as: 1) Restricting network access to the administrative interface to trusted IP addresses or VPN-only access to reduce exposure. 2) Implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 3) Conducting thorough input validation and parameterized query reviews if source code access is available, to remediate the injection flaw. 4) Monitoring logs for unusual query patterns or access attempts to /barangay_management/admin/?page=view_complaint. 5) Preparing for rapid patch deployment once an official fix is released by the vendor or community. Additionally, organizations should review their data protection policies to ensure that any potential data leakage is promptly detected and mitigated.
