CVE-2025-46109 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in pbootCMS versions 3.2.5 and 3.2.10. pbootCMS is a content management system (CMS) used for website management. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of input parameters in a GET request, allowing a remote attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection can manipulate backend database queries, potentially enabling the attacker to retrieve sensitive information stored in the database, such as user credentials, configuration details, or other confidential data. The attack vector is remote and does not require authentication, as it exploits a crafted GET request. Although no public exploits have been reported in the wild yet, the vulnerability is publicly disclosed and could be targeted by attackers once exploit code becomes available. The absence of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability has not yet been fully assessed for severity, but the nature of SQL Injection vulnerabilities typically implies significant risk. The vulnerability affects at least two specific versions of pbootCMS, which suggests that users running these versions are at risk if they have not applied any patches or mitigations. The lack of patch links indicates that official fixes may not yet be available or publicly announced. Given the widespread use of CMS platforms in managing websites, exploitation could lead to data breaches, unauthorized data disclosure, and potential further compromise of web servers hosting pbootCMS.

For European organizations using pbootCMS versions 3.2.5 or 3.2.10, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their data. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, including personal data protected under GDPR, which could result in regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Additionally, attackers could leverage the information obtained to escalate attacks, potentially compromising the availability of affected systems through further exploitation or data manipulation. Organizations relying on pbootCMS for public-facing websites or internal portals may face service disruptions or data leaks. The impact is particularly critical for sectors handling sensitive information such as finance, healthcare, and government services. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the attack vector increases the threat level, as attackers do not require prior access or user interaction. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate risk, but the public disclosure increases the likelihood of future exploitation attempts.

1. Immediate assessment of all pbootCMS installations to identify versions 3.2.5 and 3.2.10 in use. 2. Apply any available patches or updates from the pbootCMS vendor as soon as they are released. In the absence of official patches, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious SQL injection patterns in GET requests targeting pbootCMS endpoints. 3. Employ input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in custom code interfacing with pbootCMS databases to prevent injection. 4. Conduct thorough security audits and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities in all web applications. 5. Monitor web server logs for unusual or malformed GET requests that could indicate exploitation attempts. 6. Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential injection attacks. 7. Educate development and IT teams about secure coding practices and the risks associated with SQL injection. 8. Consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) tools to detect and block injection attacks in real-time. These measures, combined, provide layered defense beyond generic patching advice and help mitigate the risk until official fixes are available.
