CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2025-47785 — Emlog is an open source website building system
Emlog is an open source website building system. In versions up to and including 2.5.9, SQL injection occurs because the $origContent parameter in admin/article_save.php is not strictly filtered. Since admin/article_save.php can be accessed by ordinary registered users, this will cause SQL injection to occur when the registered site is enabled, resulting in the injection of the admin account and password, which is then exploited by the backend remote code execution. As of time of publication, it is unknown whether a fix exists.

Matched remediation archetype
SQL and data-query injection
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Trace request, message, file, and stored values into SQL, ORM query fragments, filters, sort expressions, and other data-query languages.
- Inventory database roles, reachable schemas, multi-tenant boundaries, and whether stacked or administrative operations are enabled.
- Check both direct queries and second-order use of previously stored values.
Remediate safely
- Use parameterized queries or safe query builders for all values; map identifiers and operators through explicit allowlists.
- Remove raw query concatenation and give the application account only the tables and operations it requires.
- Update affected data-access components and add regression tests for query structure preservation with inert edge-case inputs.
