xploitgh0st/cve-2025-48932---exploitProof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2025-48932, a SQL injection in Invision Community <= 4.7.20. Extracts admin credentials and resets passwords via blind SQLi. For authorized testing only.
A proof-of-concept exploit demonstrating a SQL injection vulnerability in Invision Community versions <= 4.7.20.
This tool is provided for educational and authorized security testing purposes ONLY.
CVE ID: CVE-2025-48932
Severity: High
CVSS Score: TBD
Affected Versions: Invision Community 4.x versions before 4.7.21
The vulnerability exists in the /applications/calendar/modules/front/calendar/view.php script. User input passed through the location request parameter in the IPS\calendar\modules\front\calendar\view::search() method is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries.
This allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to:
Prerequisites for exploitation:
Note: While SQL injection vulnerabilities in Invision Community 4.x versions < 4.7.18 could lead to admin account takeover and RCE by resetting the admin password, version 4.7.18 introduced a new security encryption key in the password reset mechanism, making this attack vector more difficult.

The exploit works in four main steps:
The script first fetches a CSRF token from the target website, which is required for subsequent requests.
Using a binary search algorithm, the exploit extracts data character by character from the database:
RLIKE function with regex patterns to detect true/false conditionsQueries the core_members table to extract the administrator's email address.
Injection Point:
location parameter → calendar/view.php → search() method
Payload Example:
'))OR(SELECT 1 RLIKE(IF(ORD(SUBSTR((SELECT email FROM core_members WHERE member_id=1),1,1))<128,0x28,0x31)))#
Exploitation Technique: Boolean-based blind SQL injection using binary search for efficient data extraction.

Secure Coding Practices:
Example of Secure Code:
// Vulnerable code
$location = $_REQUEST['location'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM events WHERE location = '$location'";
// Secure code
$location = $_REQUEST['location'];
$query = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM events WHERE location = ?");
$query->execute([$location]);
