CVE-2025-60311 identifies a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in ProjectWorlds Gym Management System version 1.0, located in the 'id' parameter of the profile/edit.php page. SQL Injection occurs when user-supplied input is improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL commands that the backend database executes. This can lead to unauthorized data retrieval, data modification, or even full system compromise depending on database privileges. The vulnerability was reserved on September 26, 2025, and published on October 8, 2025, but currently lacks a CVSS score and no known exploits have been reported in the wild. The absence of authentication requirements or user interaction details suggests the vulnerability could be exploited remotely by unauthenticated attackers if the system is internet-facing. The affected software is a gym management system, which typically stores sensitive personal and payment information of gym members, making confidentiality and integrity impacts significant. The lack of patch links indicates that a fix may not yet be available, emphasizing the need for immediate mitigation steps. The vulnerability’s exploitation could allow attackers to extract member data, alter membership details, or disrupt gym operations by corrupting database records.

For European organizations using ProjectWorlds Gym Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk to the confidentiality and integrity of personal and financial data of gym members. Successful exploitation could lead to data breaches exposing sensitive customer information, resulting in reputational damage and potential regulatory penalties under GDPR. Additionally, attackers could manipulate membership records or disrupt gym services, impacting business continuity. Given the fitness industry's increasing digitalization in Europe, especially in countries with large urban populations and high gym membership rates, the operational impact could be significant. The vulnerability also raises compliance risks, as unauthorized data access contravenes strict European data protection laws. Although no exploits are known in the wild yet, the ease of exploitation typical of SQL Injection vulnerabilities means attackers could develop exploits rapidly once details are public. This threat is particularly relevant for gyms that expose their management systems to the internet or have weak network segmentation.

Immediate mitigation should focus on input validation and sanitization of the 'id' parameter in profile/edit.php to prevent malicious SQL code execution. Developers should implement parameterized queries or prepared statements to eliminate direct concatenation of user input into SQL commands. If source code modification is not immediately feasible, deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL Injection detection rules can provide temporary protection. Organizations should audit their network to restrict external access to the gym management system, limiting it to trusted internal networks or VPNs. Regular database backups and monitoring for unusual query patterns can help detect and recover from potential exploitation. Once available, applying official patches from ProjectWorlds is critical. Additionally, conducting security assessments on all web-facing applications and training staff on secure coding practices will reduce future risks. European organizations should also review their incident response plans to address potential data breaches stemming from this vulnerability.
