Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 14 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Immediate mitigation should include implementing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the uname and psw parameters in /cover.php. 2. Conduct a thorough code review and apply input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to sanitize all user inputs, especially uname and psw. 3. If possible, isolate the affected system from critical internal networks to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. 4. Monitor logs for suspicious activities related to SQL errors or unusual access patterns to detect exploitation attempts early. 5. Consider replacing or upgrading the Online Appointment Booking System to a version without this vulnerability or to a different product with a strong security posture. 6. Educate IT staff about the risks of SQL injection and ensure secure coding practices are followed in future development. 7. Regularly back up data and test restoration procedures to minimize impact in case of data corruption or loss. 8. Engage with the vendor or community to track patch releases and apply updates promptly once available.

Description

A vulnerability was found in code-projects Online Appointment Booking System 1.0. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /cover.php. The manipulation of the argument uname/psw leads to sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using the affected Online Appointment Booking System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to data confidentiality and integrity. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of customer and employee data, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, resulting in legal penalties and reputational damage. The integrity of appointment schedules and related business processes could be disrupted, causing operational downtime and loss of customer trust. Additionally, attackers could leverage the vulnerability to pivot into internal networks, escalating the impact beyond the web application. Healthcare providers, government agencies, and service companies relying on such booking systems are particularly at risk due to the sensitivity of the data handled. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the likelihood of widespread attacks, especially if automated scanning tools target vulnerable installations. The absence of vendor patches means organizations must rely on immediate mitigation strategies to prevent exploitation.

Summary

CVE-2025-7587 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Online Appointment Booking System. The vulnerability resides in the /cover.php file, specifically in the handling of the uname and psw parameters. An attacker can remotely manipulate these parameters without any authentication or user interaction to inject malicious SQL code. This injection can lead to unauthorized access to the backend database, potentially allowing the attacker to read, modify, or delete sensitive data. The vulnerability is exploitable over the network (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and has partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, categorized as medium severity, reflecting the ease of exploitation combined with limited but significant impact. Although no known exploits are currently observed in the wild, the public disclosure of the exploit code increases the risk of active exploitation. The lack of patches or mitigations from the vendor further exacerbates the threat. SQL Injection vulnerabilities are among the most dangerous web application flaws, often leading to data breaches, privilege escalation, and full system compromise if chained with other vulnerabilities. Given that this is an appointment booking system, the compromised data could include personally identifiable information (PII), appointment details, and potentially payment or authentication credentials, which are critical for privacy and regulatory compliance.
