CVE-2025-67285 in COVID Tracking System Using QR-Code
Summary
by MITRE • 12/17/2025
A SQL injection vulnerability was found in the '/cts/admin/?page=zone' file of ITSourcecode COVID Tracking System Using QR-Code v1.0. The reason for this issue is that attackers inject malicious code from the parameter 'id' and use it directly in SQL queries without the need for appropriate cleaning or validation.

This vulnerability represents a critical sql injection flaw in the ITSourcecode COVID Tracking System Using QR-Code version 1.0 where the administrative zone management functionality is exposed through the /cts/admin/?page=zone endpoint. The weakness stems from inadequate input validation and sanitization practices within the application's backend processing logic. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the 'id' parameter to inject malicious sql code that gets directly executed against the database without proper parameterization or input filtering mechanisms. This type of vulnerability falls under the common weakness enumeration CWE-89 which specifically addresses sql injection vulnerabilities where untrusted data is incorporated into sql commands without proper escaping or parameterization. The attack vector aligns with the techniques described in the attack pattern taxonomy under ATT&CK matrix technique T1190 which covers sql injection attacks targeting web applications.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe as it provides attackers with unauthorized access to the underlying database containing sensitive information related to covid tracking data and user management. An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability can potentially extract, modify, or delete critical data from the system, including personal health information, tracking records, and administrative credentials. The vulnerability exists in the administrative interface which typically contains elevated privileges and access controls, making the potential damage even more significant. This weakness allows for both passive data exfiltration and active data manipulation, creating a comprehensive threat to the system's integrity and confidentiality.
Mitigation strategies should focus on implementing proper input validation and parameterized queries throughout the application codebase. The immediate fix involves sanitizing all user inputs through proper escaping mechanisms or utilizing prepared statements with parameterized queries to prevent malicious sql code from being executed. Input validation should be implemented at multiple layers including client-side and server-side validation with strict type checking and length restrictions. The application should also implement proper authentication and authorization controls to limit access to administrative functions and employ logging mechanisms to detect suspicious activities. Additionally, regular security code reviews and penetration testing should be conducted to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities across the entire application stack. Organizations should also consider implementing web application firewalls and database activity monitoring solutions to provide additional layers of protection against sql injection attacks.
