CVE-2025-10835 is a medium-severity SQL Injection vulnerability identified in SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software version 1.0. The flaw exists in the /admin/view_payorder.php file, specifically involving the manipulation of the 'ID' parameter. An attacker can remotely exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious SQL code through the ID argument without requiring user interaction or elevated privileges beyond limited privileges (PR:L). The vulnerability allows an attacker to interfere with the application's database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or disruption of service. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no authentication required (AT:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). Although the exploit has been publicly released, there are no confirmed reports of active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the software, which is a niche product used primarily in pet grooming business management. No official patches or fixes have been published yet, increasing the risk for organizations still running this version. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation and improper handling of SQL queries in the affected PHP script, a common issue in web applications that can lead to database compromise if exploited.

For European organizations using SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive business and customer data stored in the backend database. Potential impacts include data leakage of client information, financial transaction details, and internal business records. Attackers could also manipulate or delete data, disrupting business operations and causing reputational damage. Given the software's niche market, the overall impact is limited to organizations in the pet grooming sector or related service providers using this specific software version. However, compromised systems could be leveraged as footholds for further attacks within an organization's network. The remote exploitability and lack of required user interaction increase the risk of automated attacks. European data protection regulations such as GDPR impose strict requirements on protecting personal data, so exploitation could lead to regulatory penalties and legal consequences if customer data is exposed.

Organizations should immediately assess whether they are running SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software version 1.0. If so, they should implement the following mitigations: 1) Restrict access to the /admin/view_payorder.php endpoint using network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN access to limit exposure. 2) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the ID parameter. 3) Conduct code review and apply input validation and parameterized queries to sanitize the ID input and prevent injection. 4) Monitor logs for suspicious database query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. 5) Isolate the affected application server from critical internal networks to reduce lateral movement risk. 6) Engage with the vendor or community to obtain or develop patches and plan for timely software updates. 7) Educate administrative users about the risk and encourage strong authentication and minimal privilege principles to reduce potential impact. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on immediate containment, detection, and code-level remediation specific to this vulnerability and software.
