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

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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

European organizations should immediately audit their use of projectworlds Travel Management System version 1.0 and prioritize upgrading to a patched version once available. In the absence of an official patch, organizations should implement the following mitigations: 1) Apply Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 't1' parameter in /addcategory.php. 2) Conduct input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied inputs, especially the 't1' parameter, using parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent injection. 3) Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary, ensuring the database account used by the application cannot perform destructive operations. 4) Monitor logs for unusual database queries or errors indicative of injection attempts. 5) Isolate the Travel Management System in a segmented network zone to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. 6) Educate development and security teams about secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in future versions. Prompt incident response plans should be prepared in case exploitation is detected.

Description

A vulnerability was found in projectworlds Travel Management System 1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /addcategory.php. The manipulation of the argument t1 leads to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations using the projectworlds Travel Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive travel-related data, including personal identification, booking details, and payment information. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data tampering, or disruption of travel management services, which may result in operational downtime and reputational damage. Additionally, given the strict data protection regulations in Europe such as GDPR, any data breach resulting from this vulnerability could lead to substantial regulatory fines and legal consequences. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the likelihood of attacks originating from external threat actors targeting European travel agencies or service providers. The medium severity rating suggests that while the impact is serious, it may not lead to full system takeover without additional vulnerabilities or misconfigurations. However, the public availability of exploit code lowers the barrier for attackers, increasing the urgency for mitigation.

Summary

CVE-2025-9050 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the projectworlds Travel Management System, specifically within the /addcategory.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 't1' parameter, which an attacker can manipulate to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database without any user interaction or privileges. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, indicating a medium severity level. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requiring no authentication (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and has low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). The vulnerability is exploitable remotely, and while no known exploits are currently observed in the wild, the public disclosure of the exploit code increases the risk of exploitation. The lack of patches or mitigation guidance from the vendor at this time further elevates the risk. SQL Injection vulnerabilities can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or deletion, and potentially full system compromise depending on the database privileges. Given the nature of the Travel Management System, sensitive customer and travel data could be exposed or manipulated, impacting business operations and privacy compliance.
