Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-1185 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in pihome-shc PiHome version 2.0, affecting the unknown part of the file /ajax.php?Ajax=GetModal_Sensor_Graph. The issue, classified under CWE-74 and CWE-89, allows manipulation that leads to SQL injection and has 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). It was published on 2025-02-12.
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by attackers with low privileges (PR:L), requiring low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). 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 SQL injection.
