CVE-2025-13234 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Inventory Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability is located in the /index.php?q=product endpoint, where the PROID parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL statements. This injection flaw enables remote attackers to manipulate backend database queries without requiring authentication or user interaction, potentially leading to unauthorized data retrieval, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, and proof-of-concept exploit code is available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3, reflecting a medium severity due to the lack of required privileges but the presence of remote attack vector and low complexity. The vulnerability affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the inventory management system’s data. No official patches have been released yet, and the affected version is 1.0, which may still be in use by some organizations. The lack of authentication requirement and remote exploitability make this vulnerability a significant concern for organizations relying on this software for inventory and supply chain management.

For European organizations, exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability could result in unauthorized access to sensitive inventory data, manipulation of stock records, and potential disruption of supply chain operations. This could lead to financial losses, regulatory compliance issues (especially under GDPR if personal or sensitive data is involved), and reputational damage. Organizations in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, and logistics that depend on accurate inventory management are particularly vulnerable. The ability to remotely exploit the vulnerability without authentication increases the attack surface, potentially allowing attackers to pivot into broader network compromise. Additionally, data integrity issues could cause operational errors, impacting business continuity. The public availability of exploit code raises the likelihood of opportunistic attacks targeting unpatched systems across Europe.

European organizations should immediately audit their use of the itsourcecode Inventory Management System version 1.0 and isolate affected instances. Since no official patch is currently available, implement immediate mitigations such as input validation and sanitization on the PROID parameter to block malicious SQL payloads. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the /index.php?q=product endpoint. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of any successful injection. Monitor logs for suspicious query patterns and unusual database activity. Consider segmenting the inventory management system from critical network assets to contain potential breaches. Plan for an upgrade or patch deployment as soon as a vendor fix is released. Conduct security awareness training for IT staff to recognize and respond to exploitation attempts.
