CVE-2025-70149 identifies a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the CodeAstro Membership Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the print_membership_card.php script, where the ID parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL statements. This flaw falls under CWE-89, indicating improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). The impact is severe, enabling attackers to read, modify, or delete database contents, potentially leading to full system compromise, data leakage, or denial of service. The lack of available patches increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls. Although no exploits have been reported in the wild yet, the vulnerability's characteristics make it a prime target for attackers seeking to exploit membership management systems that often contain sensitive personal and organizational data. The vulnerability's publication date in early 2026 suggests it is a recent discovery, requiring immediate attention from affected parties.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability is significant. Membership management systems often store sensitive personal data, including names, contact details, membership status, and payment information. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of personal data, violating GDPR and other privacy regulations, resulting in legal penalties and reputational damage. Integrity of membership records could be compromised, affecting organizational operations and trust. Availability could also be impacted if attackers execute destructive SQL commands or cause database corruption, disrupting services. Organizations relying on CodeAstro or similar systems for critical functions such as access control, billing, or event management are particularly vulnerable. The potential for widespread data breaches and operational disruption makes this vulnerability a critical concern for European entities, especially those in sectors like education, clubs, associations, and non-profits where membership data is central.

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately implement input validation and sanitization on the ID parameter in print_membership_card.php. Employing parameterized queries or prepared statements will prevent SQL injection by separating code from data. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential exploitation. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing on all input handling components. If patches become available from CodeAstro, apply them promptly. In the absence of official patches, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable parameter. Monitor logs for suspicious database queries or unusual activity related to membership card printing functions. Additionally, organizations should review their data protection policies to ensure compliance with GDPR in case of data exposure. Regular backups and incident response plans should be updated to handle potential exploitation scenarios.
