Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
SI-10 directly prevents SQL injection by requiring validation of untrusted inputs like the 'checkin' parameter before processing in SQL queries.
SI-2 mandates identification, reporting, correction, and verification of flaws like this SQL injection vulnerability in the /booknow.php endpoint.
SI-9 enforces restrictions on information inputs such as the 'checkin' parameter to block malicious SQL payloads through type, length, and format limits.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Unauthenticated SQL injection in public-facing web application (/booknow.php) enables initial access via exploitation (T1190), arbitrary data collection from backend databases (T1213.006), and stored data manipulation (T1565.001).

Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-1964 is a SQL injection vulnerability rated as critical in projectworlds Online Hotel Booking version 1.0. The flaw resides in the processing of the /booknow.php?roomname=Duplex endpoint, where manipulation of the 'checkin' argument enables SQL injection. It is classified under CWE-74 and CWE-89, with 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). Other parameters may also be susceptible.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers with no privileges or user interaction to exploit it over the network with low complexity. By crafting a malicious request targeting the 'checkin' parameter, an attacker can inject SQL payloads, potentially leading to limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption.
Advisories and details are available via VulDB entries and a GitHub issue tracker, which document the issue and public disclosure of the exploit. No specific patches or mitigations are detailed in the core CVE information.
The exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of real-world exploitation against exposed instances of the affected software.
