CVE-2025-41032
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 · uneditedAn SQL injection vulnerability has been found in appRain CMF 4.0.5. This vulnerability allows an attacker to retrieve, create, update, and delete the database, through the 'data%5BAdmin%5D%5Busername%5D' parameter in /apprain/admin/manage/add/.
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 appRain CMF 4.0.5 allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries through the 'data[Admin][username]' parameter on the /apprain/admin/manage/add/ page, enabling full database read, write, update, and delete operations.

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 appRain CMF versionCheck for version identifiers in the application codebase - typically found in config files, version.php, or the admin footer. Common paths include /app/Config/version.php, /includes/version.php, or the main index.php header.Affected if The installed version is exactly 4.0.5
-
Verify vulnerable endpoint existsCheck if the /apprain/admin/manage/add/ route is accessible on the web server. This is the path where the SQL injection occurs. Attempt to access this URL via HTTP request or check application routing configuration.Affected if The endpoint /apprain/admin/manage/add/ is reachable and responds to requests
-
Confirm parameter handling in codeLocate the admin user creation handler code, typically in /app/Controller/Admin/ManageController.php or similar. Inspect how the 'data[Admin][username]' parameter is processed - look for direct inclusion in SQL queries without parameterized statements or prepared statements.Affected if The username parameter from data[Admin][username] is used directly in SQL queries without escaping or parameterization
You are affected if running appRain CMF version 4.0.5 and the admin user creation endpoint at /apprain/admin/manage/add/ is accessible, with the username parameter handled without prepared statements.
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 dataApply vendor patch if available; otherwise, refactor the affected code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements for the username parameter and implement proper input validation.
