CVE-2025-7568 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the qianfox FoxCMS content management system, specifically affecting versions up to 1.2.5. The flaw exists in the batchCope function within the app/admin/controller/Video.php file. The vulnerability arises due to improper sanitization or validation of the 'ids' argument, which is manipulated by an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection can be performed remotely without requiring user interaction, and only low privileges (likely a low-level authenticated user) are needed to exploit it. The SQL Injection could allow an attacker to read, modify, or delete database contents, potentially leading to data leakage, unauthorized data modification, or disruption of service. Although the CVSS 4.0 score is 5.3 (medium severity), the exploitability is relatively straightforward given network accessibility and no user interaction required. The vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts, and no patches or mitigations have been officially released. Public exploit details have been disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability impacts all FoxCMS versions from 1.2.0 through 1.2.5, which are used for managing website content, including video-related data, making it a critical concern for sites relying on this CMS for media management.

For European organizations using FoxCMS, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their web content and underlying databases. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, including user information or proprietary content, data tampering, or complete database compromise. This could result in reputational damage, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations if personal data is exposed), financial losses, and operational disruptions. Since the vulnerability allows remote exploitation with low privileges and no user interaction, attackers could automate attacks to compromise multiple sites rapidly. Organizations in sectors such as media, education, and small to medium enterprises that rely on FoxCMS for content management are particularly vulnerable. The lack of vendor response and patches increases the window of exposure, necessitating immediate defensive actions.

Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include: 1) Restricting access to the admin panel and specifically the batchCope function via network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN access to limit exposure. 2) Employing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'ids' parameter. 3) Conducting thorough input validation and sanitization at the application or proxy level if possible, to neutralize malicious inputs. 4) Monitoring logs for unusual database queries or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable function. 5) Considering temporary disabling or removing the vulnerable batchCope functionality if feasible. 6) Planning for migration to alternative CMS platforms or newer, patched versions once available. 7) Educating administrators about the vulnerability and ensuring rapid incident response capabilities are in place. These targeted mitigations go beyond generic advice by focusing on access control, detection, and containment specific to the FoxCMS environment and the nature of this SQL injection.
