CVE-2025-60062 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the mmetrodw tPlayer, a widely used HTML5 audio player with playlist functionality. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special characters in SQL commands, allowing attackers to manipulate backend database queries. This can lead to unauthorized data retrieval, data corruption, or even full compromise of the underlying database. The affected versions include all releases up to and including 1.2.1.6. Since tPlayer is often integrated into web applications for media playback, this vulnerability exposes those applications to injection attacks if user inputs are not properly sanitized. Although no exploits have been observed in the wild yet, the lack of a patch and the nature of SQL Injection make this a significant risk. The vulnerability does not require prior authentication, increasing its attack surface, and may be exploited remotely through crafted HTTP requests. The absence of a CVSS score necessitates an expert severity assessment based on impact and exploitability factors. The vulnerability's presence in a multimedia player used in web environments means it could affect a broad range of organizations, especially those in media, entertainment, and digital services sectors. The technical details indicate the issue was reserved in late September 2025 and published in December 2025, but no official patch or mitigation guidance has been released by the vendor yet.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data managed by web applications using tPlayer. Attackers could exploit the flaw to extract sensitive information such as user data or internal configuration details, modify or delete records, or disrupt service availability by corrupting database contents. This could lead to data breaches, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), reputational damage, and operational downtime. Organizations in sectors relying heavily on multimedia content delivery, such as broadcasters, online education platforms, and digital marketing firms, may face increased exposure. The lack of authentication requirements broadens the potential attacker base, including external threat actors. Additionally, the absence of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but also means organizations must act swiftly once patches become available. The potential for automated exploitation through web requests increases the risk of widespread attacks if the vulnerability is weaponized.

1. Monitor vendor communications closely for official patches addressing CVE-2025-60062 and apply them immediately upon release. 2. Until patches are available, implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user inputs interacting with the tPlayer component, employing whitelist approaches where possible. 3. Refactor database queries to use parameterized statements or prepared queries to prevent injection attacks. 4. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with updated rules to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting tPlayer endpoints. 5. Conduct thorough code reviews and penetration testing focused on SQL Injection vectors within applications using tPlayer. 6. Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual query patterns or errors indicative of injection attempts. 7. Limit database user privileges associated with the tPlayer application to the minimum necessary to reduce potential damage. 8. Educate development and security teams about secure coding practices related to SQL Injection and the specifics of this vulnerability. 9. Consider isolating or sandboxing the tPlayer component within the application architecture to contain potential exploitation impacts.
