Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-0699 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-89) in JoeyBling bootplus up to commit 247d5f6c209be1a5cf10cd0fa18e1d8cc63cf55d. The flaw affects an unknown functionality in the /admin/sys/role/list file, where manipulation of the sort argument triggers the injection. The product does not use versioning, so details on affected and unaffected releases are unavailable.
The vulnerability enables remote exploitation with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Attackers need low privileges (PR:L) to target network-accessible instances, potentially achieving limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3: AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be used.
