CVE-2025-8407 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Vehicle Management software. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'from' parameter in the /filter2.php file, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction. This flaw enables an attacker to manipulate backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even complete compromise of the database. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, indicating a medium severity level, with an attack vector of network (remote exploitation), low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability rated as low to medium. Although no public exploits are currently known in the wild, the disclosure of the vulnerability means attackers could develop exploits. The lack of available patches or mitigations from the vendor increases the risk for users of this software. Given that Vehicle Management systems often handle sensitive vehicle and user data, exploitation could lead to data breaches, operational disruptions, or unauthorized control over vehicle-related information systems.

For European organizations using code-projects Vehicle Management 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of vehicle and user data. Exploitation could result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, manipulation of vehicle records, or disruption of fleet management operations. This could impact automotive companies, logistics providers, rental agencies, and public transportation entities relying on this software. The potential for remote exploitation without authentication increases the threat surface, especially for organizations exposing the affected system to external networks or lacking proper network segmentation. Data breaches could lead to regulatory penalties under GDPR, reputational damage, and operational downtime. Additionally, attackers could leverage this vulnerability as a foothold for further lateral movement within corporate networks, amplifying the overall security risk.

Organizations should immediately audit their environments to identify any deployments of code-projects Vehicle Management version 1.0. Until an official patch is released, implement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'from' parameter at the web application firewall (WAF) or reverse proxy level to block malicious SQL payloads. Employ network segmentation to isolate the Vehicle Management system from critical internal networks and restrict access to trusted IP addresses only. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or repeated requests to /filter2.php with suspicious parameters. Consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) solutions to detect and block injection attempts in real time. If feasible, migrate to a newer, patched version of the software or replace it with an alternative solution. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection flaws to proactively identify similar vulnerabilities.
