Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-0233 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-89) in Codezips Project Management System 1.0. It affects an unknown part of the file /pages/forms/course.php, where manipulation of the course_name argument enables the injection.
The vulnerability is exploitable remotely over the network with low attack complexity, requiring no privileges or user interaction (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, base score 7.3). Unauthenticated attackers can initiate the attack to achieve limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Advisories referenced in VulDB entries (ctiid.290229, id.290229, submit.474673) and a GitHub issue (1074923869/CVE/issues/1) document the issue, but no specific patches or mitigation steps are detailed in the available information.
The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be used by attackers.
