overview
CVE-2025-25775 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability identified in Codeastro Bus Ticket Booking System v1.0. The vulnerability is present in the /BusTicket-CI/tiket/cekorder endpoint and is exploitable via the kodetiket parameter. This flaw has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, indicating its severe impact and ease of exploitation.
Attackers can exploit this issue remotely, without authentication, to inject arbitrary SQL commands. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to read, modify, or delete data in the application's database, execute administrative operations on the backend, and potentially compromise the entire server hosting the application.
At this time, there are no known IoCs associated with successful exploitation of CVE-2025-25775 affecting the Codeastro Bus Ticket Booking System. The vulnerability was disclosed on April 25, 2025, and while technical details about the SQL injection vulnerability are available, no specific indicators of compromise related to active exploitation have been published.
The vulnerability exists in Codeastro Bus Ticket Booking System v1.0 where SQL injection is possible via the "kodetiket" parameter in the "/BusTicket-CI/tiket/cekorder" path. This critical vulnerability has received a CVSS rating of 9.8, indicating its severity and potential impact on affected systems.
A proof of concept for this vulnerability has been published on GitHub by researcher Arun Modi at: https://github.com/arunmodi/Vulnerability-Research/tree/main/CVE-2025-25775.
Security researchers are actively investigating this vulnerability, but no specific exploitation campaigns or associated indicators have been documented in the public domain at this time. Given the high CVSS score and the published proof of concept, organizations using this software should apply patches immediately if available or implement mitigating controls.

Avertium's Threat Detection & Response (TDR) service continues to monitor for exploitation activity related to this vulnerability. Our proactive approach integrates all aspects of security operations to provide comprehensive threat detection capabilities for vulnerabilities like this SQL injection flaw.
Based on the vulnerability description, the following MITRE ATT&CK Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) are commonly associated with this SQL injection vulnerability:
Initial Access
T1190 - Exploit Public-Facing Application: The attacker exploits the SQL injection vulnerability in the public-facing Codeastro Bus Ticket Booking System through the kodetiket parameter in the /BusTicket-CI/tiket/cekorder endpoint. This provides the initial access vector into the application.
Execution
T1059 - Command and Scripting Interpreter: After successfully exploiting the SQL injection vulnerability, attackers can potentially execute SQL commands on the backend database server, allowing them to manipulate database content or execute stored procedures.
Defense Evasion
T1027 - Obfuscated Files or Information: Attackers may use obfuscated SQL queries to bypass input validation and filtering mechanisms that might be in place to detect SQL injection attempts.
Credential Access
T1552 - Unsecured Credentials: Using SQL injection, attackers can potentially extract user credentials stored in the database, including usernames and password hashes that could be cracked offline.
Discovery
T1082 - System Information Discovery: Through SQL injection, attackers can use database functions to gather information about the underlying system, such as database version, user privileges, and server configuration.
T1046 - Network Service Scanning: After gaining access through SQL injection, attackers might enumerate databases, tables, and columns to discover valuable information within the application's data structure.
Collection
T1005 - Data from Local System: Attackers can use SQL injection to collect sensitive data stored in the database, including user account information, payment details, and booking records stored by the bus ticket booking system.
Exfiltration
T1030 - Data Transfer Size Limits: Attackers might extract data in smaller chunks using SQL injection queries to avoid detection systems that monitor for large data transfers.
Impact
T1565 - Data Manipulation: The SQL injection vulnerability allows attackers to modify data within the database, potentially affecting the integrity of booking records, user accounts, and other critical system information.
T1499 - Endpoint Denial of Service: In some cases, attackers might use the SQL injection vulnerability to execute resource-intensive queries that could lead to database performance degradation or denial of service.
Persistence
T1505.003 - Server Software Component: Web Shell: If the SQL injection vulnerability allows for command execution or file writing capabilities, attackers might attempt to deploy web shells for persistent access to the system.
The high CVSS rating of 9.8 indicates this is a critical vulnerability that requires immediate attention, while the EPSS score of 0.67 suggests there's a significant probability this vulnerability will be exploited in the wild.
Web Application Firewall Implementation: - Deploy a WAF to filter malicious SQL injection attempts targeting the kodetiket parameter in the /BusTicket-CI/tiket/cekorder path. - Configure rules to specifically block SQL syntax in the kodetiket parameter. - Implement input validation rules that restrict the kodetiket parameter to expected character patterns and lengths.
Parameter Sanitization: - Modify the application code handling this parameter to implement proper parameterized queries as a temporary fix until an official patch is available. - Restrict the kodetiket parameter to alphanumeric characters only if possible. - Apply allow-list validation to ensure only expected values can be processed.
Access Restriction: - Temporarily disable public access to the /BusTicket-CI/tiket/cekorder functionality if possible without disrupting critical business operations. - Implement IP-based access control to limit access to trusted networks only. - Apply the principle of least privilege for database accounts used by the application, removing unnecessary database permissions.
Patch Management: - Check the Codeastro official repository for security updates addressing this vulnerability. - If a patch is available, test it thoroughly in a staging environment before deploying to production. - Implement the patch during a scheduled maintenance window to minimize service disruption.
Monitoring Strategy: - Implement database activity monitoring to detect unusual query patterns that might indicate SQL injection attempts. - Enable comprehensive logging for the affected application, focusing on all requests to the vulnerable endpoint. - Set up alerts for suspicious database activities, such as attempts to access system tables or execute administrative commands. - Monitor application logs for unusual traffic patterns or error messages related to SQL syntax.
Network Segmentation: - Isolate the vulnerable application in a separate network segment with restricted communication paths. - Implement a reverse proxy to add an additional layer of filtering for requests to the vulnerable application. - Use database firewalls to restrict database access to only necessary communications from authorized application servers.
Traffic Analysis: - Deploy network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) configured to identify SQL injection attack patterns. - Implement real-time traffic analysis to identify patterns associated with SQL injection attacks. - Consider using a specialized database firewall that can detect abnormal SQL queries.
Additional Protection: - Consider implementing a virtual patching solution through WAF rules until an official patch is available. - Deploy honey tokens in your database to alert security teams if they are accessed, potentially indicating a successful SQL injection. - Implement rate limiting on the affected endpoint to reduce the effectiveness of automated SQL injection attacks.
