CVE-2025-49378 is an SQL Injection vulnerability identified in Themefic Hydra Booking, a booking and reservation management software. The flaw exists due to improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.1.10. Exploitation requires network access and low privileges but no user interaction, with a high attack complexity indicating some conditions must be met for successful exploitation. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability by enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, and potentially disrupting service availability. The CVSS v3.1 score is 8.5, reflecting a high severity with network attack vector, partial privileges, no user interaction, and a scope change. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the vulnerability's nature makes it a significant risk for organizations relying on Hydra Booking. The lack of available patches at the time of reporting necessitates immediate risk mitigation through compensating controls. The vulnerability is critical for environments where sensitive customer or booking data is stored, as attackers could extract personal information or manipulate booking records.

For European organizations, especially those in the hospitality, tourism, and event management sectors using Themefic Hydra Booking, this vulnerability poses a severe risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of personal and payment data of customers, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal and financial penalties. Integrity compromise could allow attackers to alter bookings or inject fraudulent data, disrupting business operations and damaging reputation. Availability impacts could cause denial of service, affecting customer trust and revenue. The cross-border nature of hospitality services in Europe means that a breach could have cascading effects across multiple countries. Organizations with limited cybersecurity maturity or lacking timely patch management are particularly vulnerable. The high attack complexity somewhat limits mass exploitation but targeted attacks against high-value targets remain a concern.

Organizations should immediately inventory their use of Themefic Hydra Booking and identify affected versions. Until patches are released, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user inputs interacting with the booking system to prevent injection. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with SQL Injection detection and blocking capabilities tailored to the Hydra Booking application. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary, avoiding elevated privileges that could amplify damage. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. Engage with Themefic for timely patch updates and apply them promptly once available. Conduct security awareness training for administrators managing the booking system to recognize and respond to suspicious activity. Consider network segmentation to isolate the booking system from critical infrastructure. Finally, prepare incident response plans specific to data breaches involving booking systems.
