CVE-2025-11596 identifies a SQL Injection vulnerability in the code-projects E-Commerce Website version 1.0, specifically within the /pages/delete_order_details.php script. The vulnerability is triggered by manipulation of the order_id parameter, which is not properly sanitized or parameterized before being used in SQL queries. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or privileges, making it easier to exploit remotely over the network. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low complexity, and no need for authentication, but limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (each rated low). Although no public exploit code is currently known to be in active use, the public disclosure increases the likelihood of future exploitation attempts. The lack of available patches or official remediation heightens the urgency for affected organizations to implement compensating controls. This vulnerability poses a significant risk to the integrity and confidentiality of e-commerce transaction data and customer information stored in the backend database.

For European organizations using the affected code-projects E-Commerce Website 1.0, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive order and customer data, manipulation or deletion of order records, and potential disruption of e-commerce operations. The confidentiality of customer personal and payment information could be compromised, leading to privacy violations and regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. Integrity of transaction data could be undermined, causing financial discrepancies and loss of customer trust. Availability impact is limited but possible if attackers execute destructive SQL commands. The medium severity rating reflects a moderate risk level, but the ease of remote exploitation without authentication increases the urgency for mitigation. Organizations in Europe with significant online retail presence or those relying on this e-commerce platform are particularly vulnerable to reputational damage, financial loss, and legal consequences if exploited.

1. Immediate implementation of input validation and sanitization for the order_id parameter in /pages/delete_order_details.php to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. 2. Refactor the vulnerable code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements to eliminate direct concatenation of user input into SQL commands. 3. Conduct a comprehensive code review of the entire application to identify and remediate similar injection flaws. 4. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the affected endpoint. 5. Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual query patterns or failed injection attempts. 6. If patch or updated version from the vendor becomes available, prioritize immediate deployment. 7. Educate development teams on secure coding practices to prevent recurrence. 8. Consider isolating the e-commerce application database with strict access controls and network segmentation to limit potential damage.
