CVE-2025-5006 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Campcodes Online Shopping Portal, specifically within an unspecified function in the /admin/category.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'Category' parameter, which allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection can be performed remotely without any authentication or user interaction, making it highly accessible to attackers. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, categorized as medium severity, reflecting the potential for partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction required. The vulnerability could allow attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or disruption of service within the administrative category management functionality of the portal.

For European organizations using the Campcodes Online Shopping Portal version 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their e-commerce data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive customer information, product categories, pricing data, or administrative controls, potentially resulting in data breaches or fraudulent transactions. The availability of the portal could also be affected if attackers manipulate database queries to cause errors or downtime. Given the administrative context of the vulnerability, attackers might escalate their access or pivot to other parts of the system. This could undermine customer trust, lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR due to data exposure, and cause financial and reputational damage. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the urgency for European organizations to address this vulnerability promptly.

Organizations should immediately assess their use of Campcodes Online Shopping Portal version 1.0 and prioritize upgrading to a patched version once available. In the absence of an official patch, applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'Category' parameter is recommended. Input validation and parameterized queries should be implemented or enforced in the /admin/category.php functionality to sanitize user inputs effectively. Restricting access to the administrative interface by IP whitelisting or VPN-only access can reduce exposure. Regularly monitoring logs for suspicious SQL query patterns and anomalous access attempts is critical. Additionally, organizations should conduct security audits and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities to identify and remediate similar issues proactively.
