CVE-2025-7184
Published: 08 July 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-7184 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Code-Projects Library System. Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 48.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; 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 SC-7 (Boundary Protection).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-7184 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in code-projects Library System 1.0, affecting an unknown part of the file /user/teacher/books.php. The flaw stems from manipulation of the Search argument, classified under CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and CWE-89 (SQL Injection). Published on 2025-07-08, 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 network-accessible exploitation with low complexity.
Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit the vulnerability without privileges or user interaction by injecting malicious SQL via the Search parameter. Successful exploitation enables partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption depending on the database backend.
Advisories referenced in VulDB entries (ctiid.315123, id.315123, submit.607185) and a GitHub issue detail the vulnerability and confirm public disclosure of the exploit, which may be used by attackers. The project site at code-projects.org provides context on the affected Library System 1.0. No patches or specific mitigations are mentioned in the available information.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly requires validation and neutralization of untrusted input (the Search parameter) before it is used in SQL statements, blocking the CWE-89 injection vector.
Enables continuous monitoring and anomaly detection on web-application traffic and database queries to identify SQL-injection attempts against /user/teacher/books.php.
Boundary-protection mechanisms such as WAF rules or IPS signatures can inspect and drop malicious Search payloads before they reach the vulnerable application endpoint.
