CVE-2025-4937 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the SourceCodester Apartment Visitor Management System, specifically within the /profile.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'mobilenumber' parameter, which can be manipulated by an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability potentially affects other parameters as well, indicating a broader input validation issue. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, the exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The lack of available patches and the unknown extent of affected functionalities exacerbate the threat. Given the nature of visitor management systems, which typically store sensitive personal data such as visitor identities, contact details, and access logs, exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data manipulation, or disruption of visitor tracking operations.

For European organizations, especially those managing residential complexes, corporate campuses, or government facilities using this software, the impact could be significant. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to personal visitor information, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal and financial penalties. Integrity compromise could allow attackers to alter visitor records, potentially enabling physical security breaches or fraudulent access. Availability impacts could disrupt visitor management processes, causing operational delays and reputational damage. Since the vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, attackers could target multiple installations across Europe, amplifying the risk. The public disclosure of the exploit increases the likelihood of opportunistic attacks, including data theft, espionage, or sabotage, particularly against high-profile or sensitive sites.

Organizations should immediately assess their use of the SourceCodester Apartment Visitor Management System version 1.0 and consider the following mitigations: 1) Apply any available vendor patches or updates; if none exist, implement virtual patching via Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'mobilenumber' parameter and related inputs. 2) Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially parameters involved in database queries. 3) Employ least privilege principles on database accounts used by the application to limit the impact of potential SQL injection. 4) Monitor logs for anomalous database queries or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 5) Consider isolating or segmenting the visitor management system network to reduce exposure. 6) If feasible, replace or upgrade the vulnerable system to a more secure alternative. 7) Train staff on incident response procedures related to data breaches and unauthorized access. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on immediate protective controls and operational readiness in the absence of official patches.
