Summary

CVE-2025-1962 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Projectworlds Online Hotel Booking. Its CVSS base score is 6.9 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 43th 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 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-2025-1962 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in projectworlds Online Hotel Booking version 1.0, affecting an unknown part of the file /admin/addroom.php. The issue arises from improper neutralization of the 'roomname' parameter (CWE-74, CWE-89), allowing remote attackers to manipulate this input and execute arbitrary SQL queries. Published on 2025-03-05, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility and low complexity.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability without privileges or user interaction by sending crafted requests to the vulnerable endpoint. Successful exploitation enables limited impacts, including low-level disclosure of sensitive information (C:L), modification of data (I:L), and denial of service (A:L), potentially allowing attackers to extract or alter database contents related to hotel room management.

Advisories from VulDB and a related GitHub issue note that the exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be actively used. Practitioners should review the references (e.g., https://vuldb.com/?id.298563, https://github.com/ubfbuz3/cve/issues/1) for detailed proof-of-concept details and apply updates if available for the affected software.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

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

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

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

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.

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.
