CVE-2025-0967 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Fabian Chat System. 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 12.7th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-0967 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in code-projects Chat System 1.0, affecting the processing of the file /user/add_chatroom.php. The issue arises from improper handling of the chatname and chatpass arguments, allowing manipulation that leads to SQL injection as classified under CWE-74 and CWE-89. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) and was published on 2025-02-02.
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by an attacker with low privileges, such as a registered user, requiring low attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation enables limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts through SQL injection, potentially allowing unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption within the chat system's database.
Advisories and references, including those from VulDB (ctiid.294359, id.294359) and a GitHub proof-of-concept at Team-intN18-SoybeanSeclab/CVE/sqlinject1.md, confirm the exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be used. The vendor site at code-projects.org provides additional context, though no specific patches or mitigations are detailed in the available information. Security practitioners should review these sources for updates and apply input validation or database query parameterization as general SQL injection defenses.
