CVE-2025-8467 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Wazifa System, specifically within the /controllers/regcontrol.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'Username' parameter, which can be manipulated by an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database without requiring any user interaction or privileges. The vulnerability is classified with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, indicating a medium severity level, reflecting the potential for limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no authentication required (PR:N), and no user interaction needed (UI:N). The vulnerability impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system to a limited extent (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). Although no public exploit is currently known to be actively used in the wild, the exploit code has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability does not affect system components beyond the specified functionality, and no patches or vendor advisories have been published yet. This SQL Injection could allow attackers to retrieve sensitive data, modify or delete database records, or potentially escalate their access depending on the database permissions and system architecture.

For European organizations using the Wazifa System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to data confidentiality and integrity. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, including personal or sensitive information, which may violate GDPR and other data protection regulations. The ability to alter or delete data could disrupt business operations, leading to service outages or data loss. Since the attack requires no authentication and can be executed remotely, it increases the attack surface considerably. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government that rely on this system for critical operations could face reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and financial losses. Additionally, the public disclosure of exploit code may lead to increased scanning and exploitation attempts by opportunistic attackers or automated bots targeting vulnerable installations across Europe.

Immediate mitigation should focus on implementing input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL Injection in the 'Username' parameter within /controllers/regcontrol.php. Organizations should conduct a thorough code review of the affected module and related components to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL Injection detection rules can provide a temporary protective layer against exploitation attempts. Monitoring logs for unusual database queries or failed login attempts can help detect exploitation attempts early. Since no official patch is currently available, organizations should consider isolating or restricting access to the affected system until a vendor fix is released. Regular backups of the database should be maintained to enable recovery in case of data tampering or loss. Finally, organizations should stay alert for vendor advisories or community patches and apply them promptly once available.
