CVE-2025-68055 is an SQL Injection vulnerability identified in Themefic's Hydra Booking software, affecting all versions up to and including 1.1.32. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements within SQL commands, allowing malicious actors to inject crafted SQL statements. This flaw is categorized under CWE-89, indicating a classic SQL Injection issue where user-supplied input is not adequately sanitized before being incorporated into SQL queries. Exploitation requires network access but only low privileges and no user interaction, making it feasible for remote attackers to leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database. The consequences include unauthorized data disclosure (confidentiality impact), data modification or deletion (integrity impact), and potential denial of service (availability impact). The CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.5 reflects these severe impacts, with attack vector being network-based, high attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and scope changed due to potential compromise beyond the vulnerable component. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the vulnerability's nature and impact make it a critical risk for organizations using Hydra Booking, particularly those managing sensitive booking and customer data. The lack of available patches at the time of reporting necessitates immediate attention to alternative mitigations and monitoring for updates from the vendor.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-68055 can be significant, especially for those in the hospitality, travel, and event management sectors relying on Hydra Booking software. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive customer information, including personal and payment data, resulting in data breaches and regulatory non-compliance with GDPR. Integrity of booking records could be compromised, leading to fraudulent bookings or cancellations, damaging business operations and customer trust. Availability impacts could disrupt booking services, causing operational downtime and financial losses. The cross-border nature of European businesses means that data leakage could affect multiple jurisdictions, increasing legal and reputational risks. Additionally, attackers could leverage the vulnerability as a foothold for further network compromise. Given the high CVSS score and the criticality of booking systems, European organizations must prioritize remediation to prevent potential exploitation and cascading impacts.

1. Monitor Themefic’s official channels closely for the release of security patches addressing CVE-2025-68055 and apply them immediately upon availability. 2. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user inputs interacting with the booking system to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. 3. Refactor database queries to use parameterized statements or prepared statements, eliminating direct concatenation of user inputs into SQL commands. 4. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting Hydra Booking endpoints. 5. Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary, preventing attackers from escalating damage if exploitation occurs. 6. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities within the booking system. 7. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual database query patterns or failed injection attempts to detect early exploitation attempts. 8. Segment the booking system network environment to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. 9. Educate development and operations teams on secure coding practices and the risks of SQL Injection vulnerabilities. 10. Prepare incident response plans specific to database compromise scenarios to enable swift containment and recovery.
