Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw has been found in Serdar Bayram Ghost Hot Spot up to 20251014. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /Auth.php of the component Login. This manipulation causes sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
AnalysisAI
Remote unauthenticated SQL injection in Ghost Hot Spot's login form allows direct database manipulation and potential authentication bypass for versions up to 20251014, confirmed by published POC code. The extremely low EPSS score (0.03%, 7th percentile) contradicts technical exploitability metrics, suggesting limited real-world threat from this niche product. Vendor non-response precludes a timely security patch.
Technical ContextAI
This is a CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements) SQL injection vulnerability in a PHP web application. The /Auth.php file handles user authentication but fails to properly sanitize login input before passing it to database queries. Attackers can inject malicious SQL syntax through login form parameters (likely username or password fields) to manipulate the intended SQL logic, potentially bypassing authentication or extracting sensitive data from the database.
Affected ProductsAI
Serdar Bayram Ghost Hot Spot is affected in versions up to and including version 20251014. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond. No specific vendor advisory or official patch is available from the publisher.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is available; vendor did not respond to early disclosure contact. Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious login requests. Implement network segmentation to restrict direct access to the login endpoint to trusted sources. Enable database query logging and anomaly detection to identify exploitation attempts. If source code is available, apply SQL input validation and parameterized queries to /Auth.php directly. For long-term security, consider migrating to an actively maintained authentication system. Each control involves trade-offs (false positives from WAF rules, access restrictions limiting legitimate users, monitoring overhead, code modification risk).
