CVE-2025-9765 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Sports Management System, specifically within an unspecified function in the /Admin/tournament_details.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'ID' parameter, which can be manipulated by an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, categorized as medium severity. The vector metrics indicate that the attack can be launched over the network (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and no authentication (AT:N). The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is low, suggesting limited but non-negligible potential for data leakage, data modification, or service disruption. No public exploits are currently known in the wild, but the exploit details have been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, and no patches or mitigations have been officially released by the vendor at the time of publication. Given the nature of the Sports Management System, which likely manages sports tournament data, participant information, and scheduling, exploitation could lead to unauthorized data access or manipulation, potentially impacting operational integrity and privacy of involved parties.

For European organizations using the itsourcecode Sports Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk. Sports clubs, federations, and event organizers relying on this system could face unauthorized disclosure of sensitive participant or tournament data, manipulation of tournament details, or disruption of scheduling and management functions. Such impacts could damage organizational reputation, violate data protection regulations such as GDPR, and undermine trust among stakeholders. Although the vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, the absence of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate risk; however, public disclosure means attackers could develop exploits rapidly. The medium severity rating reflects a balance between ease of exploitation and limited impact scope. Organizations in Europe with critical sports management operations or those handling personal data should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to prevent potential data breaches or operational disruptions.

European organizations should take the following specific actions: 1) Immediately audit their deployment to confirm if version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Sports Management System is in use, particularly the vulnerable /Admin/tournament_details.php component. 2) If possible, isolate or restrict network access to the administrative interface to trusted IP addresses or VPN users to reduce exposure. 3) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'ID' parameter in tournament_details.php. 4) Conduct code review and apply manual input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to sanitize the 'ID' parameter if source code access is available. 5) Monitor logs for suspicious query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. 6) Engage with the vendor or community to obtain or develop patches or upgrade to a fixed version once available. 7) As a temporary measure, consider disabling or limiting functionality related to tournament details administration if feasible. These targeted mitigations go beyond generic advice by focusing on access control, detection, and immediate protective measures while awaiting official patches.
