CVE-2025-60062 identifies a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the mmetrodw tPlayer, a widely used HTML5 audio player with playlist functionality. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special characters in SQL commands, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw affects all versions up to and including 1.2.1.6. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure, modification of sensitive data, and partial disruption of service. The vulnerability impacts the confidentiality and integrity of backend databases, potentially exposing user data or enabling attackers to alter application behavior. No patches or exploit code are currently publicly available, but the high severity score (9.4) underscores the urgency of remediation. The vulnerability is particularly concerning for web applications that integrate tPlayer for media playback, as attackers can leverage this flaw to compromise the underlying database. The lack of known exploits in the wild suggests either recent discovery or limited exposure so far, but the risk remains high due to ease of exploitation and potential impact.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to any web applications utilizing the tPlayer component, especially those handling sensitive or regulated data. Exploitation could lead to data breaches involving personal information, intellectual property, or financial data, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The integrity of stored data could be compromised, leading to misinformation or operational disruptions. Although availability impact is limited, the reputational damage and regulatory penalties from a breach could be severe. Media companies, online education platforms, and digital service providers using tPlayer are particularly vulnerable. The vulnerability could also be leveraged as a foothold for further network intrusion. Given the criticality and ease of exploitation, European entities must treat this as a high-priority security issue.

Immediate mitigation should focus on applying vendor patches once released. In the absence of patches, organizations should implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data interacting with tPlayer components. Deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL Injection detection and prevention rules can provide interim protection. Conduct thorough code reviews and penetration testing to identify and remediate injection points. Restrict database permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential exploitation. Monitor logs for unusual SQL queries or errors indicative of injection attempts. Educate developers on secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities. Finally, maintain an inventory of all web applications using tPlayer to ensure comprehensive coverage of mitigation efforts.
