CVE-2025-15498
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 · uneditedPro3W CMS if vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. Improper neutralization of input provided into a login form allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication and gain administrative privileges. This issue was identified in version 1.2.0 of this software. Due to lack of response from the vendor exact version range could not be determined, but the vulnerability should be eliminated in versions released in January 2026 and later.

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.
-
Identify Pro3W CMS installationLocate the CMS installation directory and check for version file or header. Common paths include /admin, /cms, or the root web directory. Look for version.php, version.json, or meta tags containing version information.Affected if Pro3W CMS is installed and the version is earlier than January 2026 release or version cannot be determined
-
Verify login form accessibilityAccess the login page endpoint (commonly /login, /admin/login, or /user/login). Confirm the page loads and accepts username/password input fields.Affected if Login form is publicly accessible without network restrictions
-
Check for SQL injection protectionReview the login form handling code for use of parameterized queries or prepared statements. Inspect the authentication logic file handling the SQL query, typically in an auth.php, login.php, or user.php file within the CMS core.Affected if Code uses direct string concatenation or string interpolation in the SQL query rather than parameterized queries
-
Compare installed version to affected rangeDocument the exact installed version number from step 1. Compare against known affected versions (all versions before January 2026).Affected if Installed version is earlier than the January 2026 release or version cannot be verified
User is affected if Pro3W CMS is running and the installed version predates the January 2026 release, especially if the login form is accessible and the authentication code lacks parameterized query protection.

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.
From vendor dataUpgrade to Pro3W CMS versions released in January 2026 or later; as a temporary measure, implement input validation and parameterized queries on the login form, or deploy a WAF to block SQL injection attempts.
