CVE-2025-64519
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 · uneditedTorrentPier is an open source BitTorrent Public/Private tracker engine, written in php. In versions up to and including 2.8.8, an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability exists in the moderator control panel (`modcp.php`). Users with moderator permissions can exploit this vulnerability by supplying a malicious `topic_id` (`t`) parameter. This allows an authenticated moderator to execute arbitrary SQL queries, leading to the potential disclosure, modification, or deletion of any data in the database. Although it requires moderator privileges, it is still severe. A malicious or compromised moderator account can leverage this vulnerability to read, modify, or delete data. A patch is available at commit 6a0f6499d89fa5d6e2afa8ee53802a1ad11ece80.
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 analysisUser input is woven into a database query, letting an attacker rewrite the query's logic. From there they can read, alter, or destroy data — frequently the entire database. The reliable fix is parameterised queries (prepared statements), so input is always treated as data and never as SQL.

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 · scopedCheck https://github.com/torrentpier/torrentpier for any release newer than 2.8.8; if no new release exists, apply the patch at commit 6a0f6499d89fa5d6e2afa8ee53802a1ad11ece80
- Navigate to the TorrentPier installation directory
- Run 'git pull' to fetch latest changes, or manually download the patched version from the repository
- Verify the fix by checking the modcp.php file - ensure the topic_id parameter is now properly sanitized/parameterized
- Test the moderator control panel functionality to confirm the patch doesn't break legitimate operations
- If using a git-based deployment, ensure all production servers pull the commit 6a0f6499d89fa5d6e2afa8ee53802a1ad11ece80
- Review application logs after deployment to ensure no SQL injection attempts are occurring
