CVE-2022-46124 is a high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability affecting Helmet Store Showroom Site version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the web application endpoint /hss/admin/?page=user/manage_user&id=, where user-supplied input is improperly sanitized before being incorporated into SQL queries. This improper input validation allows an attacker with administrative privileges (as indicated by the CVSS vector requiring PR:H) to inject malicious SQL code. The injection can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification or deletion of database records, and potentially full compromise of the backend database. The vulnerability does not require user interaction (UI:N) and can be exploited remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L). The scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the impact is confined to the vulnerable component. The CVSS score of 7.2 reflects the high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). Although no patches or vendor information are currently available, the vulnerability is classified under CWE-89, a well-known category of SQL Injection flaws. No known exploits have been reported in the wild to date, but the nature of the vulnerability and its location in an administrative interface make it a critical risk if weaponized.

For European organizations using Helmet Store Showroom Site v1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their user and business data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, including personal identifiable information (PII) of customers or employees, which would have serious compliance implications under GDPR. Data tampering or deletion could disrupt business operations, damage reputation, and incur financial losses. Since the vulnerability requires administrative privileges, insider threats or compromised admin accounts could be leveraged by attackers to exploit this flaw. The lack of available patches increases the risk window. Organizations relying on this software for e-commerce or showroom management may face operational downtime and potential regulatory penalties if breaches occur. The vulnerability also raises concerns for supply chain security if the software is integrated into broader IT environments.

Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should immediately implement compensating controls. These include restricting access to the /hss/admin/ interface strictly to trusted IP addresses and enforcing strong multi-factor authentication for all administrative accounts to reduce the risk of credential compromise. Web application firewalls (WAFs) should be configured with custom rules to detect and block SQL Injection patterns targeting the vulnerable parameter 'id'. Conduct thorough code reviews and input validation enhancements to sanitize all user inputs rigorously. Organizations should also monitor database logs and web server logs for suspicious activities indicative of SQL Injection attempts. If feasible, consider isolating the vulnerable application in a segmented network zone to limit lateral movement. Finally, organizations should engage with the software vendor or community to obtain updates or patches and plan for timely deployment once available.
