PHP CVE-2025-5705

Immediate remediation steps: (1) Upgrade to a patched version if available from code-projects; verify with vendor whether version 2.0+ contains fixes for CVE-2025-5705. (2) If upgrade is unavailable, implement immediate compensating controls: restrict /Admin/ directory access to trusted IPs only via firewall or web server configuration (allow-list); implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in the cmbCat parameter. (3) Apply input validation: implement strict whitelist validation for the cmbCat parameter to accept only expected category IDs (numeric or predefined strings). (4) Code-level fix if internal resources available: replace all SQL query constructions in Property.php with parameterized prepared statements using either mysqli_prepare() or PDO prepared statements, ensuring all user input is bound as data, not code. (5) Conduct immediate database audit to detect any unauthorized access or data modification since deployment. (6) Monitor database logs for suspicious query patterns indicative of exploitation attempts.
