CVE-2025-5128 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the ScriptAndTools Real-Estate-website-in-PHP product. The flaw exists within an unspecified function located in the /admin/ directory, specifically affecting the Admin Login Panel component. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'Password' argument, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection can be executed remotely without requiring any authentication or user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS vector. Exploiting this vulnerability could enable an attacker to manipulate backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even complete compromise of the database. Although the vendor was notified early, there has been no response or patch released, and public exploit code has been disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, categorized as medium severity, reflecting the ease of remote exploitation but limited scope or impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or privileges, making it accessible to unauthenticated remote attackers. The lack of vendor response and public exploit availability heightens the urgency for affected organizations to implement mitigations promptly.

For European organizations using the ScriptAndTools Real-Estate-website-in-PHP version 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data stored within their real estate platforms. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of client information, property listings, financial details, and administrative credentials. This could result in reputational damage, regulatory penalties under GDPR due to data breaches, and operational disruptions if database integrity is compromised. Since the vulnerability allows remote exploitation without authentication, attackers could leverage it to gain persistent access or pivot to other internal systems. The real estate sector in Europe, which often handles personally identifiable information (PII) and financial transactions, is particularly sensitive to such breaches. Additionally, the absence of a vendor patch and public exploit availability increases the likelihood of attacks targeting European entities, especially smaller agencies that may lack robust security measures.

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, restrict access to the /admin/ directory by IP whitelisting or VPN-only access to limit exposure. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the Password parameter. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user inputs, especially in the login panel, to prevent injection attempts. Organizations should also monitor logs for suspicious SQL errors or unusual database queries indicative of exploitation attempts. If feasible, consider migrating away from the vulnerable ScriptAndTools Real-Estate-website-in-PHP 1.0 to more secure, actively maintained platforms. Regular backups of databases should be maintained to enable recovery in case of compromise. Finally, organizations should engage with the vendor or community to track any forthcoming patches or updates and apply them promptly once available.
