CVE-2025-56630 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in FoxCMS version 1.2.5 and earlier. The vulnerability exists in the app/admin/controller/Column.php file, specifically via the column_model parameter. SQL Injection vulnerabilities occur when untrusted input is improperly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing an attacker to manipulate the query structure. In this case, an attacker could exploit the column_model parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially enabling unauthorized access to or modification of the underlying database. This could lead to data leakage, data corruption, or even full system compromise depending on the database privileges and the application architecture. The vulnerability is classified as a server-side issue affecting the administrative controller, which suggests that exploitation might require some level of access to the admin interface or at least the ability to send crafted requests to the vulnerable endpoint. No CVSS score has been assigned yet, and no known exploits are reported in the wild as of the published date. However, given the nature of SQL Injection vulnerabilities, the risk remains significant if the system is exposed to untrusted users or the internet. FoxCMS is a content management system, and such platforms often store sensitive content and user data, making this vulnerability critical to address promptly.

For European organizations using FoxCMS, this vulnerability could have severe consequences. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data, including personal data protected under GDPR, potentially resulting in regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Data integrity could also be compromised, affecting the reliability of published content and internal records. Availability might be impacted if attackers execute destructive SQL commands or escalate their access to disrupt services. Since CMS platforms are often publicly accessible, attackers could exploit this vulnerability remotely if the affected FoxCMS instance is exposed to the internet without adequate protections. This risk is heightened for organizations in sectors such as government, healthcare, education, and media within Europe, where CMS platforms are widely used to manage critical information and public-facing websites. The absence of known exploits currently does not reduce the urgency, as SQL Injection vulnerabilities are well-understood and commonly targeted by attackers.

European organizations should immediately audit their FoxCMS installations to identify affected versions (1.2.5 and earlier). Since no official patch links are provided, organizations should monitor FoxCMS vendor communications for security updates or patches addressing CVE-2025-56630. In the interim, applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the column_model parameter can reduce risk. Input validation and sanitization should be enforced at the application level, ensuring that parameters like column_model accept only expected values (e.g., whitelisting allowed inputs). Restricting access to the admin interface by IP whitelisting or VPN can reduce exposure. Regular database backups and monitoring for unusual query patterns or errors can help detect exploitation attempts early. Organizations should also consider conducting penetration testing focused on SQL Injection to verify the effectiveness of mitigations. Finally, reviewing database user privileges to follow the principle of least privilege can limit the damage in case of successful exploitation.
