CVE-2025-14650 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Online Cake Ordering System version 1.0, specifically within the /cakeshop/product.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'Product' parameter, which is directly used in SQL queries without adequate validation or parameterization. This allows a remote attacker to inject malicious SQL statements by manipulating the input, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or denial of service. The attack vector requires no authentication or user interaction, making it easier to exploit remotely over the network. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L, I:L, A:L). Although no exploits are currently observed in the wild, the availability of proof-of-concept code increases the likelihood of future attacks. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, and no official patches have been published yet. The flaw is typical of classic SQL injection issues caused by insufficient input validation and lack of use of prepared statements or stored procedures. Organizations using this software for online cake ordering risk exposure of customer data, order details, and potentially backend database compromise. Attackers could leverage this to extract sensitive information, alter orders, or disrupt service availability.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses operating online food ordering platforms or similar e-commerce systems. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of customer personal data, including payment information if stored in the same database, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Integrity of order data could be compromised, leading to fraudulent orders or disruption of business operations. Availability impacts could result in denial of service, affecting customer trust and revenue. The moderate CVSS score reflects that while the vulnerability is exploitable remotely without authentication, the impact is partial rather than total compromise. However, the presence of published exploit code increases the risk of automated attacks and widespread exploitation. European companies may face regulatory fines and reputational damage if customer data is leaked. The threat is particularly relevant for organizations that have not implemented strong input validation or database security best practices. Additionally, the lack of official patches means organizations must rely on mitigations or vendor updates to fully remediate the issue.

Immediate mitigation should focus on applying patches once available from itsourcecode or upgrading to a fixed version. In the absence of patches, organizations should implement strict input validation on the 'Product' parameter to ensure only expected values are accepted, using whitelisting techniques. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection by separating code from data. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary, avoiding use of highly privileged accounts for web application database access. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint. Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual query patterns or errors indicative of injection attempts. Conduct regular security assessments and code reviews to identify similar vulnerabilities. Educate developers on secure coding practices to prevent injection flaws in future releases. Finally, ensure compliance with GDPR by securing customer data and having incident response plans in place in case of data breaches.
