CVE-2025-50928 is a medium-severity SQL injection vulnerability identified in Easy Hosting Control Panel (EHCP) version 20.04.1.b. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'id' parameter within the Change Settings function, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw is classified under CWE-89, which pertains to improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. Exploiting this vulnerability could enable attackers to read or modify limited data within the backend database, potentially leading to unauthorized disclosure or alteration of configuration settings. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.8, reflecting a network attack vector with high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and limited impact on confidentiality and integrity, with no impact on availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. The vulnerability was published on August 8, 2025, with the reservation date on June 16, 2025. Given the nature of EHCP as a web hosting control panel, this vulnerability could be leveraged to gain foothold or escalate privileges within hosting environments if exploited successfully.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability depends largely on the adoption of EHCP in their hosting infrastructure. Organizations using EHCP for web hosting management could face unauthorized access to sensitive configuration data, which might lead to further compromise of hosted websites or services. Although the impact on confidentiality and integrity is limited, attackers could manipulate hosting settings, potentially disrupting service or enabling further attacks such as website defacement or data leakage. Since the vulnerability does not affect availability directly, service outages are less likely but cannot be ruled out if attackers chain this exploit with others. European organizations in sectors relying heavily on web hosting services, such as e-commerce, media, and SMEs hosting their own web infrastructure, could be at risk. The lack of authentication requirement and remote exploitability increases the threat surface, especially for publicly accessible EHCP instances.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should first verify if they are running EHCP version 20.04.1.b or earlier versions susceptible to this SQL injection. Immediate steps include restricting access to the EHCP Change Settings function through network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN access to reduce exposure. Implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'id' parameter can provide an additional layer of defense. Organizations should monitor EHCP vendor communications for official patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once available. In the interim, conducting code reviews or applying manual input validation and parameterized queries in the Change Settings function can reduce risk. Regular security audits and penetration testing focusing on web application inputs are recommended to identify similar vulnerabilities. Finally, maintaining comprehensive logging and alerting on EHCP administrative actions can help detect exploitation attempts early.
