CVE-2025-4813Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated SQL injection via unsanitized mobile number

Published May 16, 2025 · Updated May 17, 2025

SQL injection in Projectworlds HMPV Testing Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to read and modify database records. The edit-phlebotomist.php handler places the POST mobilenumber value directly into a MySQL query without sanitization, validation, or parameter binding. No authentication or user interaction is required; a crafted value can change query logic, expose or alter stored testing data, and delay responses through time-based blind extraction.
