CVE-2025-9767 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Sports Management System, specifically within an unspecified function in the /Admin/sporttype.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'code' argument, which can be manipulated by an attacker to inject malicious SQL queries. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability is classified with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting its network exploitable nature (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N). The impact vector indicates limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, suggesting partial data exposure or modification rather than full system compromise. No official patches or fixes have been published yet, and while the exploit has been publicly disclosed, there are no known active exploits in the wild at this time. The vulnerability's presence in an administrative module (/Admin/sporttype.php) implies that successful exploitation could allow attackers to manipulate sports type data or potentially escalate their access depending on the backend database's role in the application. Given the nature of SQL Injection, attackers could extract sensitive information, modify or delete data, or disrupt application availability, depending on the database permissions and structure.

For European organizations using the itsourcecode Sports Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their sports management data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, including potentially sensitive user or organizational information stored in the database. Data manipulation could disrupt operational processes, leading to inaccurate sports event management or scheduling, which may affect service delivery and organizational reputation. Although the vulnerability is rated medium severity, the lack of authentication requirement and remote exploitability increase the risk profile. Organizations in sectors such as sports federations, clubs, event organizers, and educational institutions using this system could face operational disruptions and data breaches. Additionally, compromised systems could be leveraged as pivot points for further attacks within the network, especially if the database holds credentials or other critical information. The absence of known active exploits currently provides a window for mitigation, but the public disclosure of the exploit code increases the likelihood of future attacks.

European organizations should immediately conduct a thorough audit of their itsourcecode Sports Management System installations to identify affected versions (1.0). In the absence of an official patch, organizations should implement the following specific mitigations: 1) Apply input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the /Admin/sporttype.php file to sanitize the 'code' parameter and prevent SQL injection. 2) Restrict network access to the administrative interface by implementing IP whitelisting or VPN access controls to limit exposure to trusted users only. 3) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable parameter. 4) Monitor database and application logs for suspicious query patterns or anomalies indicative of injection attempts. 5) If feasible, isolate the database with least privilege principles, ensuring the application account has minimal permissions to reduce potential damage. 6) Plan for an upgrade or migration to a patched or alternative system version once available. 7) Conduct user awareness training for administrators on recognizing and reporting suspicious activity. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific vulnerable component and access vectors.
