CVE-2025-11654 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in the yousaf530 Inferno Online Clothing Store application, affecting versions up to commit 827dd42bfbe380e8de76fdc67958c24cf1246208. The vulnerability resides in an unknown function within the /log.php file, where the parameters cemail and password are improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This injection flaw can be exploited remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction, increasing the attack surface. The vulnerability's CVSS 4.0 score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting its network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, but limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The product uses a rolling release model, complicating version tracking and patching, and the vendor has not responded to vulnerability disclosure, leaving organizations without official fixes. Public exploits are available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability could allow attackers to extract sensitive customer data, modify or delete records, or disrupt service availability by manipulating backend SQL queries. The lack of vendor response and patch availability necessitates immediate defensive actions by users of this software.

For European organizations using the Inferno Online Clothing Store platform, this vulnerability poses significant risks to customer data confidentiality, including personally identifiable information and payment details. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data tampering, or denial of service, undermining customer trust and potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the attack increases the likelihood of exploitation, especially in high-traffic e-commerce environments. Disruption of online sales platforms could cause financial losses and reputational damage. Additionally, compromised systems could serve as pivot points for broader network intrusions. The absence of vendor patches and public exploit availability heighten urgency for European organizations to implement mitigations proactively. The impact is particularly critical for businesses with large customer bases or those handling sensitive financial transactions.

Given the absence of official patches, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, apply strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied parameters, especially cemail and password fields, to block SQL injection payloads. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code to prevent SQL injection. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting /log.php endpoints. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing to identify and remediate similar injection points. Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual query patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary to limit damage if exploited. Consider isolating the affected application components and applying network segmentation to reduce lateral movement risk. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups and incident response plans to recover quickly from potential breaches.
