Overview
A security vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-13172, has been discovered in CodeAstro Gym Management System version 1.0. This flaw allows for SQL injection through the manipulation of the ID argument in the /admin/view-member-report.php file. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, posing a significant risk to systems using the affected software.
This exploit is publicly available and actively exploitable. Immediate action is recommended to mitigate the risk.
Technical Details
The vulnerability lies within the /admin/view-member-report.php file of CodeAstro Gym Management System 1.0. By manipulating the ID parameter in the URL, an attacker can inject malicious SQL code. This injected code can then be executed by the database, potentially allowing the attacker to:
- Read sensitive data from the database, including user credentials, personal information, and financial records.
- Modify data within the database, leading to data corruption or unauthorized changes.
- Potentially execute arbitrary commands on the underlying server, depending on the database configuration.
The vulnerable code lacks proper input validation and sanitization, allowing the injected SQL code to be passed directly to the database query.
CVSS Analysis
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) assigns CVE-2025-13172 a score of 6.3 (MEDIUM). This score reflects the following characteristics:
- Attack Vector: Network (AV:N) – The vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network.
- Attack Complexity: Low (AC:L) – The vulnerability is relatively easy to exploit.
- Privileges Required: None (PR:N) – No privileges are required to exploit the vulnerability.
- User Interaction: None (UI:N) – No user interaction is required to exploit the vulnerability.
- Scope: Unchanged (S:U) – The vulnerability affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application.
- Confidentiality Impact: Low (C:L)
- Integrity Impact: Low (I:L)
- Availability Impact: Low (A:L)
While the individual impact scores are low, the ease of exploitation and remote accessibility contribute to the medium severity rating.
Possible Impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-13172 can have significant consequences for organizations using CodeAstro Gym Management System 1.0:
- Data Breach: Sensitive user data, including personal and financial information, could be exposed to unauthorized parties.
- Account Takeover: Attackers could gain control of user accounts, potentially leading to further damage.
- Reputational Damage: A security breach can erode customer trust and damage the organization’s reputation.
- Financial Loss: Remediation efforts, legal fees, and loss of business can result in significant financial losses.
- System Compromise: In some cases, the attacker could gain control of the server hosting the application.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
To mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2025-13172, the following steps are recommended:
- Apply the Patch: Check CodeAstro’s website for any available patches or updates for Gym Management System 1.0. Apply the patch immediately.
- Input Validation: Implement robust input validation and sanitization techniques to prevent SQL injection. Ensure that all user-supplied input is properly validated before being used in database queries.
- Parameterized Queries: Use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. This technique separates the SQL code from the data, making it impossible for an attacker to inject malicious code.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF to detect and block SQL injection attempts.
- Database Permissions: Review and restrict database permissions to the minimum necessary level.
- Regular Security Audits: Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
