CVE-2025-3729Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote command execution via unsanitized backup path

Published Apr 16, 2025 · Updated Apr 17, 2025

OS command injection in SourceCodester Web-based Pharmacy Product Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute commands. backup.php passes the txtdbname POST value to backDb(), which embeds it in a backup filename that function_backup.php concatenates into an exec('rm ...') shell command without escaping. Exploitation is unauthenticated but requires a successful connection to an attacker-controlled MySQL server and a crafted database name that remains usable as a file path.
