CVE-2025-4712 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Campcodes Sales and Inventory System. The vulnerability resides in the /pages/account_summary.php file, specifically involving the manipulation of the 'cid' parameter. An attacker can remotely exploit this flaw by injecting malicious SQL code through the 'cid' argument, which is not properly sanitized or validated by the application. This allows unauthorized access to the backend database, potentially enabling attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data stored within the system. The vulnerability does not require any authentication or user interaction, making it highly accessible for exploitation. Although the CVSS 4.0 score is 6.9, categorized as medium severity, the nature of SQL Injection vulnerabilities typically poses significant risks to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, and no official patches or mitigations have been published yet. No known exploits are currently observed in the wild, but public disclosure increases the risk of exploitation by threat actors. The vulnerability impacts the core functionality of the Sales and Inventory System, which is critical for business operations, including managing sales records, inventory data, and account summaries.

For European organizations using Campcodes Sales and Inventory System 1.0, this vulnerability could lead to severe consequences. Exploitation could result in unauthorized data disclosure, including sensitive customer and financial information, leading to data breaches and regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. Attackers could manipulate inventory or sales data, causing financial discrepancies, operational disruption, and loss of business trust. The ability to remotely exploit without authentication increases the risk of widespread attacks, potentially affecting multiple organizations simultaneously. Additionally, attackers could leverage this vulnerability as a foothold to escalate privileges or move laterally within the network, further compromising organizational assets. The reputational damage and potential fines from data protection authorities could be substantial, especially for companies in regulated sectors such as retail, manufacturing, or distribution across Europe.

Immediate mitigation should focus on implementing strict input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL Injection in the 'cid' parameter. Organizations should conduct a thorough code review of the /pages/account_summary.php file and other input handling components to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Until an official patch is released by Campcodes, deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the 'cid' parameter is recommended. Network segmentation and limiting external access to the Sales and Inventory System can reduce exposure. Regular monitoring of logs for suspicious database queries or unusual activity related to the affected endpoint is critical for early detection. Organizations should also consider upgrading to newer versions of the software if available or applying vendor-provided patches promptly once released. Finally, conducting security awareness training for developers and administrators on secure coding practices will help prevent future vulnerabilities.
