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.
No public nuclei template indexed

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

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

To mitigate CVE-2025-13280, organizations should immediately implement the following measures: 1) Apply any available patches or updates from CodeAstro as soon as they are released. 2) If patches are not yet available, implement input validation and sanitization on the Username parameter to reject or properly escape malicious SQL syntax. 3) Refactor the code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements rather than dynamic SQL concatenation to prevent injection. 4) Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary, limiting the impact of a successful injection. 5) Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting SQL Injection patterns to detect and block exploit attempts. 6) Monitor logs for suspicious login attempts or unusual database queries indicative of exploitation. 7) Conduct security code reviews and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities in authentication modules. 8) Educate developers on secure coding practices to prevent similar issues in future releases. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific vulnerable component and practical interim controls until official fixes are available.

Description

A vulnerability was determined in CodeAstro Simple Inventory System 1.0. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file /index.php of the component Login. Executing a manipulation of the argument Username can lead to sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

Impact

The SQL Injection vulnerability in CodeAstro Simple Inventory System 1.0 can have significant impacts on organizations using this software. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive inventory data, user credentials, or other backend information stored in the database. Attackers may manipulate or delete records, causing data integrity issues and operational disruptions. Confidentiality breaches could expose proprietary business information or customer data, potentially resulting in regulatory non-compliance and reputational damage. The availability of the system could also be affected if attackers execute destructive queries or cause database corruption. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely, it broadens the attack surface and increases risk. Organizations relying on this system for critical inventory management may face operational downtime and financial losses. Additionally, attackers could leverage this vulnerability as a foothold for further network intrusion or lateral movement within the enterprise environment.

Summary

CVE-2025-13280 identifies a SQL Injection vulnerability in CodeAstro Simple Inventory System version 1.0, specifically within the Login component's /index.php file. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation or sanitization of the Username parameter, which is directly incorporated into SQL queries without proper escaping or use of parameterized statements. This flaw allows a remote attacker to craft malicious input that alters the intended SQL command, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The attack vector is network-based, requiring no authentication or user interaction, which increases the risk of exploitation. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the vulnerability's moderate impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and the ease of exploitation. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild, the public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the likelihood of future exploitation attempts. The affected product is a simple inventory management system, which may be used by small to medium enterprises for tracking assets and stock. The lack of a patch or official fix at the time of disclosure necessitates immediate mitigation efforts by users. The vulnerability underscores the importance of secure coding practices, particularly in authentication modules, to prevent injection attacks that can compromise backend databases.
