CVE-2025-11057 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software. The vulnerability exists in the /admin/print_inv.php file, specifically through manipulation of the 'ID' parameter. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious SQL code into the backend database queries. The injection can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or potentially full compromise of the database depending on the privileges of the database user. The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, and the attack vector is network accessible (remote). The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity level, with the exploitability rated as low complexity and no privileges or user interaction needed. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited but present, as the vulnerability can lead to partial data disclosure or alteration. No public exploits are currently known in the wild, but the exploit details have been disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. No patches or fixes have been linked yet, which means affected organizations must rely on mitigations or workarounds until an official patch is released.

For European organizations using SourceCodester Pet Grooming Management Software version 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive customer and business data stored in the backend database. Pet grooming businesses often handle personal information such as client names, contact details, pet health records, and payment information. Exploitation could lead to data breaches, reputational damage, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and financial losses. The ability to remotely exploit this vulnerability without authentication increases the attack surface, making it attractive for opportunistic attackers. While the impact is medium severity, the lack of patches and public exploit code disclosure means that organizations should act promptly to mitigate risks. The threat is particularly relevant for small to medium enterprises in the pet care sector that may lack dedicated cybersecurity resources.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting access to the /admin/print_inv.php endpoint via network controls such as firewall rules or VPN requirements to limit exposure to trusted users only. 2. Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'ID' parameter. 3. Conduct input validation and sanitization on all parameters, especially 'ID', to ensure only expected data types and formats are accepted. 4. Monitor logs for suspicious queries or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. 5. If possible, disable or remove the vulnerable functionality temporarily until a vendor patch is available. 6. Engage with the software vendor or community to obtain or request a security patch. 7. Educate staff about the risks and signs of exploitation to improve detection and response. 8. Regularly back up databases and ensure backups are secure to enable recovery in case of data corruption or loss.
