CVE-2025-64371 identifies a Blind SQL Injection vulnerability in the shinetheme Traveler product affecting all versions prior to 3.2.6. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code that is executed by the backend database. Blind SQL Injection means the attacker cannot directly see the results of the injection but can infer data through side-channel responses or time delays. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.5 reflects a high-severity issue with network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring low privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and a scope change (S:C) indicating that the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact on confidentiality is high (C:H) due to potential unauthorized data disclosure, integrity impact is low (I:L) as data manipulation is possible but limited, and availability is not affected (A:N). No patches or exploits are currently publicly available, but the vulnerability is published and should be considered critical for affected users. The flaw likely stems from insufficient input sanitization or parameterized query usage in the Traveler application, enabling attackers to craft SQL payloads that bypass filters and execute arbitrary queries. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive travel data, user credentials, or other confidential information stored in the database. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it requires only low privileges and no user interaction, making automated exploitation feasible once exploit code is developed. Organizations using Traveler should monitor for suspicious database activity and prepare to apply patches promptly once released.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality of sensitive data managed by the Traveler application, including personal travel information, booking details, and potentially payment data. Unauthorized access or data leakage could lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR, reputational damage, and financial penalties. The integrity impact, while lower, still allows attackers to manipulate data, potentially disrupting travel operations or causing erroneous bookings. The lack of availability impact means service disruption is unlikely, but data breaches remain a critical concern. Given the network-based attack vector and low complexity, attackers could automate exploitation attempts, increasing the threat surface. European organizations in sectors such as travel agencies, corporate travel management, and government travel departments using shinetheme Traveler are particularly vulnerable. The exposure could also facilitate lateral movement within networks if attackers leverage compromised credentials or data. Overall, the vulnerability could undermine trust in travel management systems and cause significant operational and compliance challenges.

1. Apply patches or updates from shinetheme Traveler as soon as they become available, specifically upgrading to version 3.2.6 or later. 2. Until patches are released, restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary, avoiding elevated privileges that could be exploited via SQL injection. 3. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically targeting SQL injection patterns, including blind SQLi detection techniques. 4. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, employing parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent injection. 5. Monitor application logs and database query logs for unusual or anomalous queries indicative of SQL injection attempts. 6. Employ network segmentation to isolate the Traveler application and its database from other critical infrastructure to limit lateral movement. 7. Educate developers and administrators about secure coding practices and the risks of SQL injection vulnerabilities. 8. Consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) solutions that can detect and block injection attacks in real time. 9. Perform regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities. 10. Review and update incident response plans to include scenarios involving SQL injection exploitation.
