CVE-2025-7187
Published: 08 July 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-7187 is a low-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Fabian Chat System. Its CVSS base score is 2.1 (Low).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 41.7th 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 are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-6 (Least Privilege).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-7187 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-89) in code-projects Chat System 1.0. The flaw resides in an unknown function within the file /user/fetch_member.php, where manipulation of the ID argument enables SQL injection. Published on 2025-07-08, it carries 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).
The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and requires low privileges, such as an authenticated user account. No user interaction is needed, and exploitation remains scoped to the affected component. Attackers can achieve limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption via injected SQL payloads.
Advisories referenced in VulDB (ctiid.315126, id.315126, submit.607196) document the issue, while a GitHub repository (LamentXU123/cve/blob/main/sql_fetch_member.md) discloses a public exploit that may be used. The vendor site (code-projects.org) is listed, but no specific patches or mitigation steps are detailed in the available references.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly requires validation of the ID parameter in fetch_member.php to reject SQL metacharacters and block injection payloads before they reach the database.
Enables continuous monitoring and anomaly detection on database queries originating from /user/fetch_member.php to identify successful or attempted SQL injection.
Restricts the authenticated user's privileges so that even a successful SQL injection via the ID argument yields only limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
