Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-7170 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the code-projects Crime Reporting System 1.0, affecting an unknown functionality within the /registration.php file. The issue arises from improper handling of the "Name" argument, enabling manipulation that leads to SQL injection as classified under CWE-74 and CWE-89. 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) and was published on 2025-07-08.
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability without authentication or user interaction, requiring only network access and low complexity. Successful exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability through SQL injection, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption depending on the database backend.
