CVE-2025-10430 is a medium-severity SQL Injection vulnerability identified in SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in an unspecified functionality within the /admin/barcode.php file, where manipulation of the 'ID' parameter allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw enables remote exploitation without requiring user interaction or authentication, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/UI:N/PR:L). The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a limited scope (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), meaning the attacker can partially compromise the database contents or functionality. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, but no known exploits are currently observed in the wild. The lack of available patches or mitigations from the vendor increases the risk for organizations using this software. SQL Injection vulnerabilities typically allow attackers to extract sensitive data, modify or delete records, or execute administrative operations on the database, potentially leading to data breaches or service disruption. Given the software is targeted at pet grooming management, the database likely contains customer information, appointment details, and possibly payment data, which could be exposed or altered by an attacker.

For European organizations using SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software 1.0, this vulnerability poses a tangible risk to the confidentiality and integrity of customer and business data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to personal data of clients, violating GDPR requirements and resulting in regulatory penalties. Data manipulation could disrupt business operations, causing appointment scheduling errors or financial discrepancies. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the attack vector increases the likelihood of exploitation, especially if the software is exposed to the internet or accessible from less secure internal networks. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the pet grooming sector, which may lack dedicated cybersecurity resources, are particularly vulnerable. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk, but the public disclosure and availability of exploit details could lead to rapid weaponization by threat actors.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software 1.0 and restrict access to the /admin/barcode.php endpoint to trusted internal networks only. Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the 'ID' parameter. Conduct input validation and parameterized queries within the application code to prevent injection attacks; if source code access is available, developers should remediate the vulnerable code promptly. In the absence of vendor patches, consider isolating the application behind VPNs or network segmentation to reduce exposure. Regularly monitor logs for suspicious database queries or unusual access patterns. Additionally, ensure backups of critical data are maintained securely to enable recovery in case of data corruption or deletion. Engage with the vendor for updates or patches and subscribe to vulnerability advisories for timely information.
