Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Detectable: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately audit their use of SourceCodester Simple E-Commerce Bookstore version 1.0 and identify any instances of the vulnerable /cart.php file. Since no official patches are currently available, developers must implement input validation and sanitization on the 'remove' parameter, ideally replacing dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent injection. Web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this parameter as a temporary protective measure. Regularly monitoring logs for suspicious database queries or unusual activity related to the cart functionality is recommended. Organizations should also consider upgrading to newer, secure versions of the software if available or migrating to alternative e-commerce platforms with better security track records. Additionally, conducting security awareness training for developers on secure coding practices and maintaining an incident response plan for potential exploitation events will enhance resilience.

Description

A vulnerability was found in SourceCodester Simple E-Commerce Bookstore 1.0. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /cart.php. The manipulation of the argument remove results in sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Impact

For European organizations, especially those operating small to medium-sized e-commerce platforms using SourceCodester Simple E-Commerce Bookstore 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of customer data, including personal and payment information, undermining GDPR compliance and resulting in legal and financial penalties. Data integrity could be compromised, allowing attackers to manipulate order data or inventory records, potentially causing financial loss and reputational damage. Availability impacts could arise if attackers disrupt database operations, leading to service outages and loss of customer trust. Given the medium severity, the threat is serious but not catastrophic; however, the ease of exploitation without authentication increases risk. Organizations in Europe with limited cybersecurity resources or lacking timely patch management processes are particularly vulnerable. The vulnerability also raises concerns about supply chain security if third-party developers or integrators use the affected software.

Summary

CVE-2025-11430 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in SourceCodester Simple E-Commerce Bookstore version 1.0, located in the /cart.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'remove' parameter, which is susceptible to SQL injection attacks. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the backend database query, potentially extracting sensitive data, modifying database contents, or causing denial of service by corrupting data or triggering errors. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, making it highly accessible to remote attackers. The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 (medium severity) reflects the network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public availability of exploit code increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The lack of vendor patches or updates at this time necessitates immediate mitigation through secure coding practices and input validation. This vulnerability is particularly critical for e-commerce platforms handling customer data and transactions, as exploitation could lead to data breaches, fraudulent transactions, or service interruptions.
