Ltd. Introduction: The End of Static Malware For years, defenders relied on a simple assumption: malware looks the same every time it spreads. That assumption no longer holds. In 2026, modern malware families rarely reuse identical code. Instead, they continuously mutate their structure while preserving functionality — a technique broadly known as polymorphism .

Executive snapshot
New CVEs dropped in the past ~12 hours are largely web-app SQL injections and access-control flaws across small PHP apps and CMS frameworks—exactly the kind of issues that lead to data theft and admin takeover when exposed to the internet. A notable entry also hits the Next.js image pipeline (content injection), which impacts modern front-ends at scale. Patch windows should prioritize any internet-facing instance and tighten WAF rules immediately. NVD+3NVD+3NVD+3
Today’s priority items (what changed)
1) Next.js — Image Optimization content injection
-
CVE-2025-55173: Content injection via the image optimization route; fixed in 14.2.31 and 15.4.5. Action: pin/upgrade, rebuild, and restrict remote image domains to an allowlist.
2) SourceCodester apps — multiple fresh SQLi
-
Water Billing System 1.0 (
/edit.php?id=) → SQLi; exploit public. Action: take app behind auth, apply vendor/community patch if available, add WAF rules forUNION SELECT,' OR '1'='1, etc. NVD -
Simple Cafe Billing 1.0 (
/sales_report.php?month=) → SQLi; exploit public. Action: same as above; sanitize parameters server-side. NVD
3) Campcodes/Portabilis/Online systems — more SQLi/authorization bugs
-
Campcodes Online Shopping 1.0 (
/product.php?p=) → SQLi; public exploit. NVD -
Campcodes Advanced Online Voting 1.0 (
/admin/login.php?Username=) → SQLi; public exploit. NVD -
SourceCodester Online Polling 1.0 (
/admin/checklogin.php?myusername=) → SQLi; public exploit. NVD -
Portabilis i-Educar ≤2.10 → improper authorization on HistoricoEscolar API; remote abuse possible. NVD
-
Portabilis i-Educar ≤2.10 → SQLi on Formula de Cálculo de Média page (
/module/FormulaMedia/edit?id=). NVD
These PHP/education/billing stacks are often self-hosted and accidentally exposed. Treat them as internet-facing even if “meant for internal”, and get a reverse-proxy + WAF in front.
Quick triage table
| CVE | Product | Issue | Likely impact | Auth? | What to do today |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2025-55173 | Next.js (Image Optimization) | Content injection | Malicious file delivery / brand spoofing | Public | Upgrade to 14.2.31/15.4.5, restrict image domains, rebuild. |
| CVE-2025-9706 | SourceCodester Water Billing 1.0 | SQLi (/edit.php?id) | DB dump / admin takeover | Unclear | Pull behind auth, sanitize, WAF SQLi rules; patch when available. NVD |
| CVE-2025-9702 | SourceCodester Simple Cafe Billing 1.0 | SQLi (/sales_report.php?month) | Data theft / report poisoning | Unclear | Same as above; validate month param server-side. NVD |
| CVE-2025-9699 | SourceCodester Online Polling 1.0 | SQLi (/admin/checklogin.php) | Credential bypass → admin | Likely auth page | Force MFA/IP allowlist; patch; WAF. NVD |
| CVE-2025-9692 | Campcodes Online Shopping 1.0 | SQLi (/product.php?p) | DB exfil / account takeover | Public | Sanitize input; WAF block; segment DB. NVD |
| CVE-2025-9694 | Campcodes Advanced Online Voting 1.0 | SQLi (/admin/login.php) | Admin bypass | Login | Add rate-limit, MFA; patch. NVD |
| CVE-2025-9687 | Portabilis i-Educar ≤2.10 | Improper authorization | Unauthorized data actions | None | Update; add API gateway auth; log anomalies. NVD |
| CVE-2025-9684 | Portabilis i-Educar ≤2.10 | SQLi (/module/FormulaMedia/edit?id) | Grade manipulation / DB dump | Public | Patch; input validation; WAF. NVD |
SOC / DevSecOps actions (now)
-
Block & log: Add SQLi signatures to WAF/CDN (eg, block
UNION SELECT, stacked queries;--, comment--, booleans likeOR '1'='1'). Map to these new CVEs. (See rows/citations above.) -
Next.js fleets: Pin to 14.2.31 or 15.4.5, rebuild containers, and allowlist external image domains in config.
-
Auth hardening: Enforce MFA + IP allowlists on
/admin/*routes of all listed apps while you patch. -
Exposure check: Search your attack surface for these paths (
/edit.php,/sales_report.php,/product.php,/admin/login.php,/admin/checklogin.php). -
Segmentation: Ensure DB ports are not internet-exposed, and app servers can’t reach production DBs without TLS + secrets rotation.
Longer-term hardening (repeatable wins)
-
Shift-left scanning: Add Snyk to CI for PHP/Node dependencies; block releases on critical CVEs.
-
Runtime defense: Use Aqua Security to enforce container immutability/WAF at ingress for these apps.
-
Secrets: Move DB creds/JWT keys into 1Password Business – Secrets Automation and rotate quarterly.
-
Endpoint/XDR: Deploy Bitdefender GravityZone or CrowdStrike Falcon on app servers to kill dropper/RCE payloads post-SQLi.

Carry-over watch (high-risk, not necessarily in last 12h)
-
Git CVE-2025-48384 remains actively exploited and is in CISA KEV—ensure all dev workstations and CI runners are on patched Git (2.43.7–2.50.1). Disable recursive submodule clones from untrusted repos. TechRadar
