CVE-2025-9148 is a medium-severity SQL Injection vulnerability affecting CodePhiliaX Chat2DB versions 0.3.0 through 0.3.7. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function within the DataSourceController.java file, specifically in the JDBC Connection Handler component. This flaw allows an attacker to remotely manipulate SQL queries by injecting malicious input, potentially altering the intended database commands executed by the application. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and can be exploited without authentication, increasing its risk profile. The vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts, and no official patches or mitigations have been released as of the publication date. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). The exploit has been publicly disclosed, but no known exploits in the wild have been reported yet. This vulnerability could allow attackers to extract sensitive data, modify or delete database records, or disrupt service availability by leveraging SQL injection techniques against the Chat2DB application’s database backend.

For European organizations using CodePhiliaX Chat2DB, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their database systems. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, including sensitive customer or business information, data tampering, or denial of service conditions impacting business operations. Given the remote exploitability without authentication, attackers could leverage this flaw to gain persistent access or disrupt critical data workflows. This is particularly concerning for sectors with strict data protection regulations such as GDPR, where data breaches can result in heavy fines and reputational damage. Organizations relying on Chat2DB for database management or analytics could face operational disruptions and compliance violations if exploited. The lack of vendor response and absence of patches increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls and monitor for suspicious activity.

Since no official patches are available, European organizations should take immediate steps to mitigate risk. First, restrict network access to the Chat2DB application to trusted IP addresses and internal networks only, reducing exposure to remote attackers. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting Chat2DB endpoints. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data interacting with the JDBC Connection Handler, if possible by modifying application code or deploying reverse proxies that sanitize requests. Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual query patterns or error messages indicative of injection attempts. Consider isolating the Chat2DB environment from critical databases or migrating to alternative solutions until a vendor patch is released. Additionally, maintain regular backups of affected databases to enable recovery in case of data corruption or deletion. Engage in threat intelligence sharing with industry peers to stay informed about emerging exploit techniques targeting this vulnerability.
