CVE-2025-14568 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the haxxorsid Stock-Management-System, affecting versions up to commit fbbbf213e9c93b87183a3891f77e3cc7095f22b0. The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function within the model/User.php file, where parameters such as employee_id, id, or admin are improperly sanitized, enabling attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries. This injection flaw can be exploited remotely without authentication or user interaction, increasing the attack surface. The vulnerability's CVSS 4.0 score is 5.3 (medium), reflecting the moderate impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability with relatively low complexity of exploitation. The product uses continuous delivery with rolling releases, making it difficult to pinpoint affected versions or available patches. The vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts, and the affected versions are no longer supported, leaving users without official remediation. While no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public disclosure increases the risk of future exploitation. The vulnerability could allow attackers to extract sensitive employee or administrative data, modify database contents, or disrupt stock management operations, potentially impacting business continuity and data privacy.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses significant risks, especially for those relying on the haxxorsid Stock-Management-System for inventory and employee management. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive employee information, manipulation of stock data, and disruption of supply chain processes. This could result in financial losses, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations due to data breaches), and reputational damage. The lack of vendor support and patches exacerbates the risk, as organizations cannot rely on official fixes. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability remotely without authentication can target multiple organizations, increasing the threat landscape. The impact is particularly critical for sectors with complex supply chains such as retail, manufacturing, and logistics prevalent in Europe. Additionally, disruption in stock management can affect operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Given the absence of vendor patches, European organizations should prioritize migrating away from the unsupported haxxorsid Stock-Management-System to a maintained and secure alternative. If migration is not immediately feasible, organizations should implement strict input validation and sanitization at the application or database query layer to neutralize SQL injection attempts. Employing web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting employee_id, id, and admin parameters can provide a protective barrier. Network segmentation should isolate the stock management system from critical infrastructure to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. Regular database activity monitoring and anomaly detection can help identify exploitation attempts early. Additionally, organizations should conduct thorough security audits and penetration testing focused on SQL injection vectors. Maintaining comprehensive backups and incident response plans will mitigate operational impact if exploitation occurs.
