Online Complaint Site CVE-2025-11516

Immediate patch is not available from the vendor as of this analysis. Primary remediation is to upgrade to a patched version when released by code-projects or to transition to an alternative complaint management system. If upgrade is not feasible, implement compensating controls: (1) restrict access to /cms/users/complaint-details.php to trusted internal networks using Web Application Firewall or reverse proxy rules, blocking external access; side effect is reduced accessibility for remote users. (2) Apply input validation and parameterized SQL query updates at the application level if source code is available - replace string concatenation with prepared statements or ORM frameworks; requires development effort but eliminates the root cause. (3) Implement SQL injection detection via WAF rules that block suspicious SQL syntax in the cid parameter (e.g., single quotes, UNION, SELECT keywords); note that simple pattern-based detection may be bypassed. (4) Monitor database query logs for unusual activity from authenticated accounts, though this only detects, not prevents, exploitation. Contact the vendor at code-projects.org for patch timeline and security update availability.
