Overview
The CVE-2025-46248 vulnerability exposes a critical flaw in M A Vinoth Kumar’s Frontend Dashboard, specifically an SQL Injection vulnerability. This security issue affects all versions of the Frontend Dashboard up to and including 2.2.5. The vulnerability is particularly concerning due to its high severity rating and potential for system compromise or data leakage, highlighting the need for immediate attention and mitigation.
SQL Injection is a code injection technique that attackers use to exploit vulnerabilities in a web application’s database layer. This specific vulnerability could allow an attacker to manipulate SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data corruption or even system compromise.

How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by allowing an attacker to manipulate SQL queries in the Frontend Dashboard. By not properly neutralizing special elements used in SQL commands, the application opens itself up to potential SQL Injection. This can allow an attacker to retrieve sensitive data, modify data or potentially gain unauthorized access to the system.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a simple, conceptual example of how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability:
POST /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"user_name": "admin'; DROP TABLE users; --"
}In the example above, the attacker sends a malicious JSON payload that includes an SQL statement designed to drop the users table from the database. If the application does not properly sanitize the input, this command will be executed, leading to data loss.
Mitigation
The recommended mitigation for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can help protect against attempts to exploit this vulnerability. Regularly updating and patching software is also a critical step in protecting systems from vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-46248.
