CVE-2025-5582 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the CodeAstro Real Estate Management System, specifically affecting the /profile.php endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'content' parameter, which allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection can be exploited remotely without user interaction or authentication, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/UI:N/PR:L). The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, though no known exploits are currently observed in the wild. The CVSS 4.0 score is 5.3, categorizing it as medium severity, reflecting limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and requiring low privileges (likely a logged-in user) to exploit. The vulnerability could allow attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or disruption of service. However, the scope is limited to the affected version 1.0 of the product, and the impact is somewhat constrained by the requirement of low privileges and limited confidentiality/integrity/availability impact as per the CVSS vector.

For European organizations using CodeAstro Real Estate Management System version 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access or modification of sensitive real estate data, client profiles, and transactional information. Given the nature of real estate management systems, compromised data could include personal identifiable information (PII), financial details, and contractual documents. Exploitation could lead to data breaches, reputational damage, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and potential financial losses. The medium severity suggests that while the risk is not critical, it remains significant, especially if attackers leverage the vulnerability to escalate privileges or pivot within the network. The absence of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, particularly as public disclosure may facilitate future attacks. European organizations must consider the sensitivity of real estate data and the regulatory environment, which mandates stringent data protection and breach notification requirements.

1. Immediate application of patches or updates from CodeAstro once available is critical; if no official patch exists, organizations should implement temporary mitigations such as input validation and parameterized queries to sanitize the 'content' parameter in /profile.php. 2. Conduct a thorough code review and security audit of the affected module to identify and remediate similar injection points. 3. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable parameter. 4. Restrict access to the application endpoints to authenticated and authorized users only, and monitor logs for suspicious activities related to /profile.php. 5. Implement database-level protections such as least privilege for application accounts and use of stored procedures to limit the impact of injection. 6. Educate developers and administrators on secure coding practices to prevent future injection vulnerabilities. 7. Regularly monitor threat intelligence feeds for emerging exploits targeting this CVE to respond promptly.
