CVE-2025-11628 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the Project-Online-Shopping-Website developed by jimit105, affecting the /delete.php script in the Product Inventory Handler component. The vulnerability is triggered by manipulation of the product_code parameter, which is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries. This allows an attacker with high privileges to remotely inject malicious SQL code, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require the attacker to have some level of privileges (PR:H), which suggests that exploitation is limited to authenticated users with elevated rights. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). The vendor employs a rolling release model, complicating version tracking and patch management, and has not responded to vulnerability reports, leaving affected users without official remediation. Although no known exploits are currently observed in the wild, the public availability of exploit code increases the risk of future attacks. The vulnerability primarily threatens the integrity and confidentiality of the product inventory data and could disrupt e-commerce operations by unauthorized deletion or alteration of product records.

For European organizations, especially those operating e-commerce platforms using the Project-Online-Shopping-Website software, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data manipulation, including deletion or alteration of product inventory information. This can lead to financial losses, reputational damage, and disruption of business operations. The partial compromise of confidentiality could expose sensitive product or customer data, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The requirement for high privileges limits exploitation to insiders or compromised accounts, but the ease of remote exploitation without user interaction increases the threat surface. Organizations relying on this software without timely patching or mitigation may face targeted attacks aiming to disrupt sales or steal competitive information. The lack of vendor response and patch availability increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls. Additionally, the rolling release model complicates vulnerability management and increases the risk of unnoticed exposure.

1. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on all parameters, especially product_code in /delete.php, to prevent SQL injection. 2. Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules specifically targeting SQL injection patterns to detect and block malicious requests. 3. Restrict access to the /delete.php endpoint to only trusted, authenticated users with necessary privileges, and monitor access logs for suspicious activity. 4. Conduct regular code reviews and security testing focusing on injection vulnerabilities, particularly in legacy or rolling release software. 5. Employ database activity monitoring tools to detect anomalous queries indicative of injection attempts. 6. Isolate the database with least privilege principles, ensuring the web application user has minimal rights to reduce potential damage. 7. Since no official patch is available, consider temporary workarounds such as disabling the vulnerable functionality if feasible. 8. Maintain an incident response plan to quickly address any detected exploitation attempts. 9. Engage with the vendor or community to track updates or unofficial patches. 10. Educate developers and administrators on secure coding practices and the risks of SQL injection.
