CVE-2025-0487

Executive Summary

CVE-2025-0487 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability discovered in Fanli2012 native-php-cms version 1.0. The flaw resides in the /fladmin/cat_edit.php file, where the id parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in a SQL query. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to full database compromise, data exfiltration, and further lateral movement within the network. The exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of active exploitation. No official patch is currently available.

Supply Chain & Package Security

This vulnerability is not related to any NPM, PyPI, Go, or Ruby package. It is a standalone PHP CMS application.

CVSS Breakdown & Threat Level

The CVSS v3.1 vector string is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, resulting in a base score of 9.8 (Critical).

• Attack Vector (AV): Network – The vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network.
• Attack Complexity (AC): Low – No special conditions or complex attack sequences are required.
• Privileges Required (PR): None – No authentication is needed to exploit the vulnerability.
• User Interaction (UI): None – The victim does not need to perform any action.
• Scope (S): Unchanged – The vulnerable component and the impacted component are the same.
• Confidentiality (C): High – Full database read access is possible.
• Integrity (I): High – Database records can be modified or deleted.
• Availability (A): High – Database operations can be disrupted or denied.

Deep Dive & Mechanics

The vulnerability exists in the cat_edit.php script, which is part of the admin panel (/fladmin/). The script likely retrieves a category ID from the id GET parameter and uses it directly in a SQL query without proper sanitization or parameterization.

Vulnerable Code Snippet (Hypothetical):

<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM categories WHERE id = $id";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
?>

The attacker can manipulate the id parameter to break out of the intended SQL query and execute arbitrary commands. For example:

http://target.com/fladmin/cat_edit.php?id=1 UNION SELECT
