CVE-2025-4463 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Gym Management System. The vulnerability exists in an unspecified function within the /ajax.php endpoint, specifically when the 'action' parameter is set to 'save_package'. The attack vector involves manipulation of the 'ID' argument, which is not properly sanitized or validated before being used in SQL queries. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or database compromise. The vulnerability does not require any user interaction or authentication, making it highly exploitable. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, reflecting medium severity, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the risk of exploitation. The lack of an official patch or mitigation guidance from the vendor further exacerbates the threat landscape for users of this software. Given that gym management systems typically handle sensitive personal data, membership details, and possibly payment information, exploitation could lead to significant privacy breaches and operational disruptions.

For European organizations using the itsourcecode Gym Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of member data, including personal identification and potentially payment information. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data tampering, or deletion, undermining trust and potentially violating GDPR requirements for data protection. Operationally, attackers could disrupt gym management functions, causing service outages or financial losses. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the attack increases the likelihood of exploitation, especially in environments where the system is exposed to the internet without adequate network segmentation or firewall protections. Given the criticality of personal data in the EU and stringent regulatory frameworks, organizations face not only technical risks but also legal and reputational consequences.

European organizations should immediately conduct an audit to identify deployments of itsourcecode Gym Management System version 1.0. Until an official patch is released, the following specific mitigations are recommended: 1) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the /ajax.php?action=save_package endpoint, especially focusing on the 'ID' parameter. 2) Restrict network access to the Gym Management System backend by limiting exposure to trusted internal IP addresses and enforcing VPN access for remote connections. 3) Employ database-level protections such as least privilege principles, ensuring the database user account used by the application has minimal permissions, preventing data modification or schema changes. 4) Monitor logs for unusual SQL errors or suspicious requests to the vulnerable endpoint. 5) If feasible, temporarily disable or restrict the vulnerable functionality until a patch is available. 6) Engage with the vendor or community to obtain updates or patches and plan for timely application once available. 7) Conduct security awareness training for IT staff to recognize and respond to exploitation attempts.
