CVE-2025-10828 is a medium-severity SQL Injection vulnerability identified in SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the /admin/edit.php file, specifically related to the manipulation of the 'ID' parameter. An attacker can remotely exploit this flaw by injecting malicious SQL code through the ID argument without requiring user interaction or authentication, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/UI:N/PR:L). The vulnerability allows partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), meaning that an attacker could potentially read, modify, or delete data within the backend database. The vulnerability does not require elevated privileges beyond low privileges (PR:L), which implies that an attacker with some level of access to the system or application could exploit it. Although no public exploits are currently known in the wild, the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The lack of patch links suggests that a fix may not yet be available, or it has not been publicly released. The vulnerability stems from improper input validation and sanitization of the ID parameter in the administrative interface, allowing SQL commands to be injected and executed by the database engine. This could lead to unauthorized data access or manipulation, potentially impacting business operations and data privacy.

For European organizations using SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive customer and business data. Pet grooming businesses often store personal information about clients and their pets, including contact details and payment information, which could be exposed or altered by an attacker exploiting this SQL injection flaw. The remote exploitability without user interaction increases the threat level, as attackers can automate attacks and potentially pivot to other parts of the network. Data integrity compromise could disrupt business operations, leading to financial losses and reputational damage. Furthermore, unauthorized data access could violate GDPR regulations, resulting in legal and compliance repercussions. Given the niche nature of the software, the impact is likely concentrated in small to medium-sized enterprises within the pet care sector. However, any breach involving personal data in Europe is subject to strict regulatory scrutiny, amplifying the consequences of exploitation.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software version 1.0 and restrict access to the administrative interface to trusted personnel and networks only. Implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with SQL injection detection and prevention rules can help block exploitation attempts. Input validation and parameterized queries should be enforced in the application code; if source code access is available, developers must sanitize and validate all inputs, especially the ID parameter in /admin/edit.php. Until an official patch is released, consider isolating the affected system from external networks or using VPNs with strict access controls. Regularly monitor logs for suspicious database queries or access patterns indicative of SQL injection attempts. Additionally, organizations should prepare incident response plans to quickly address any detected exploitation and notify affected parties in compliance with GDPR. Engaging with the vendor for timely patch releases and updates is critical.
