Summary

CVE-2025-0701 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Joeybling Bootplus. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 32th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2025-0701 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the JoeyBling bootplus project, affecting an unknown part of the /admin/sys/user/list file up to commit 247d5f6c209be1a5cf10cd0fa18e1d8cc63cf55d. The flaw stems from manipulation of the "sort" argument, classified under CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and CWE-89 (SQL Injection). It was published on 2025-01-24 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N), without changing scope (S:U). Successful exploitation enables limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L), potentially allowing unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption via injected SQL queries.

Advisories on VulDB (ctiid.293229, id.293229) and GitHub (JoeyBling/bootplus issues #23 and #2786909921) confirm the remote exploitability and note that it has been publicly disclosed and may be used. The project follows a rolling release model for continuous delivery, so no specific versions for affected or updated releases are provided; security practitioners should update to the latest commits for mitigation.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

SI-10 directly requires validation of information inputs to reject malformed or special-element content before it reaches downstream parsers.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.

SI-4 System Monitoring partial match

System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and output encoding that prevent injection flaws.

PR.AT-02 partial match
prevents

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development catches injection vulnerabilities before release.

A.5.6 Contact with special interest groups partial match
prevents

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

A.5.7 Threat intelligence partial match
prevents

Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging supports detection of injection attempts but does not prevent the weakness.

A.8.16 Monitoring activities partial match
finds

Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent injection flaws.
