CVE-2025-40628
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 · uneditedSQL injection vulnerability in DomainsPRO 1.2. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to retrieve, create, update and delete databases via the “d” parameter in the “/article.php” endpoint.
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 DomainsPRO 1.2 affecting the 'd' parameter in the /article.php endpoint. An attacker can inject arbitrary SQL queries, enabling retrieval, creation, update, and deletion of database contents. The critical CVSS score of 9.3 reflects the ease of exploitation and severe potential impact on data confidentiality and integrity.

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 DomainsPRO installationLocate the DomainsPRO application directory on the server. Check common web root locations for a 'DomainsPRO' folder or search for files containing 'DomainsPRO' branding.Affected if The DomainsPRO software is found on the system
-
Identify the DomainsPRO versionExamine version files, readme files, or the main index.php/include files for a version number. Check any metadata or configuration files that specify the software version.Affected if The installed version is DomainsPRO 1.2
-
Verify article.php existsCheck for the presence of article.php in the web-accessible directories of the DomainsPRO installation. Common paths include the root directory or a 'backend' folder.Affected if The file article.php exists in the DomainsPRO directory structure
-
Confirm 'd' parameter acceptanceReview the article.php source code to verify it accepts a 'd' parameter via GET or POST request. Look for code that uses this parameter in database queries without sanitization.Affected if The article.php script accepts and uses a 'd' parameter in SQL queries
-
Check database user privilegesReview database configuration to determine if the application database user has privileges beyond SELECT (such as INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). Check if the database user is overly privileged.Affected if The database user configured for DomainsPRO has elevated privileges (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or DROP)
You are affected if DomainsPRO version 1.2 is installed, the article.php endpoint exists, and it processes a 'd' parameter without parameterized queries.
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.
From vendor dataImplement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database operations in article.php to neutralize SQL injection. Apply input validation on the 'd' parameter and deploy a WAF as an interim protective measure. Contact the vendor for an official patch.
