CVE-2025-12860
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability was found in DedeBIZ up to 6.3.2. Affected is an unknown function of the file /admin/freelist_main.php. The manipulation of the argument orderby results in sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in DedeBIZ up to 6.3.2 in the /admin/freelist_main.php file allows remote authenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through the unsanitized orderby parameter.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm DedeBIZ is installedLocate DedeBIZ by checking for the presence of typical DedeBIZ directories (e.g., /admin/, /include/, /uploads/) or the index.php file containing 'DedeBIZ' or 'Dede' branding in the web root.Affected if The web application is running DedeBIZ.
-
Check DedeBIZ versionLocate the version indicator. Common locations include a version.php file, the admin footer, or a /data/admin/ver.txt file. Compare the installed version number to 6.3.2.Affected if The installed version is 6.3.2 or lower.
-
Verify vulnerable file existsCheck for the presence of the file /admin/freelist_main.php in the web root directory.Affected if The file /admin/freelist_main.php exists on the server.
-
Check admin access exposureDetermine if the /admin/ directory is publicly accessible. Attempt to access the admin login page or check web server configuration for admin path access rules.Affected if The admin interface is accessible from the network without additional access restrictions.
-
Inspect orderby parameter handlingExamine the source code of /admin/freelist_main.php. Search for the 'orderby' parameter usage and verify whether it is directly concatenated into SQL queries without sanitization or use of parameterized queries.Affected if The orderby parameter is used in SQL queries without prepared statements, binding, or input validation.
The environment is affected if DedeBIZ version 6.3.2 or lower is installed, the file /admin/freelist_main.php exists, the admin panel is accessible, and the orderby parameter in that file lacks SQL injection protection.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to a patched version of DedeBIZ (version > 6.3.2). If upgrade is not immediately possible, implement strict input validation on the orderby parameter or use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection.
DedeBIZ 6.3.3 or later (check GitHub for latest stable release)
- 1. Check the official DedeBIZ GitHub repository (github.com/dedebiz/DedeBIZ) for the latest release version beyond 6.3.2
- 2. If a newer stable version (e.g., 6.3.3 or later) is available, upgrade to that version to receive the SQL injection fix
- 3. After upgrading, verify the /admin/freelist_main.php file has been patched or updated
- 4. As a temporary mitigation before upgrading, disable or restrict access to the /admin/freelist_main.php file using web server access controls (e.g., .htaccess or IP allowlisting)
- 5. If the admin panel is not required externally, ensure it is only accessible from trusted IP addresses
- 6. After applying the fix, test the freelist_main.php functionality to ensure the orderby parameter is properly sanitized
