Automated Voting System CVE-2025-12238

Contact code-projects or Fabian (vendor) to request a security patch for version 1.0, as no vendor-released patch version is currently documented. In the interim, implement immediate compensating controls: restrict /admin/user.php access to a whitelist of trusted internal IP addresses using firewall rules or web application firewall (WAF) rules, and disable direct HTTP/HTTPS access to the /admin directory from untrusted networks. Additionally, implement input validation on the Username parameter by enforcing strict character allowlists (alphanumeric plus underscore only) at the application layer before any database query. Review and enable SQL query logging to detect exploitation attempts. These controls limit network exposure while maintaining functionality for legitimate administrators on trusted networks, though they do not replace a proper code fix. A permanent solution requires vendor patching or application code review to implement parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database interactions.
