CVE-2025-8468 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Wazifa System, specifically within the /controllers/reset.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'email' parameter, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code remotely without any authentication or user interaction. This injection can manipulate backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even complete compromise of the database. The vulnerability is rated with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, indicating a medium severity level. The vector metrics highlight that the attack can be performed remotely (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N). The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L), suggesting partial but not total compromise of these security properties. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no official patches or mitigations have been published yet. Given the nature of SQL Injection, attackers could leverage this flaw to extract sensitive information, alter or delete data, or escalate privileges within the affected system, depending on the database permissions and the application's architecture.

For European organizations using the Wazifa System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive user information, including personal data stored in the database, which may contravene GDPR requirements and result in regulatory penalties. Data integrity could be compromised, affecting business operations relying on accurate information. Additionally, if attackers manipulate the database or escalate privileges, availability of services could be disrupted, impacting operational continuity. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the attack increases the risk of widespread exploitation, especially in organizations that have not implemented compensating controls such as web application firewalls or input validation layers. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the likelihood of future attacks.

Organizations should immediately conduct an audit of all instances running Wazifa System version 1.0 and prioritize upgrading or patching once an official fix is released by the vendor. In the interim, implement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'email' parameter within /controllers/reset.php to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements to eliminate direct concatenation of user input into SQL commands. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting SQL Injection patterns to provide an additional protective layer. Monitor application logs for suspicious activities related to the reset functionality, such as unusual query patterns or repeated failed attempts. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of any potential exploitation. Finally, ensure regular backups of databases are maintained and tested to enable recovery in case of data corruption or loss.
