CVE-2025-5057 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Campcodes Online Shopping Portal, specifically within the /admin/insert-product.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'Category' parameter, which allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw can be exploited remotely without any authentication or user interaction, enabling an attacker to manipulate backend database queries. The injection could lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the database and the application. Although the CVSS score is 6.9 (medium severity), the vulnerability's critical nature is underscored by its remote exploitation capability and the sensitive administrative context. The disclosure indicates that other parameters might also be vulnerable, suggesting a broader input validation weakness in the application. No patches have been published yet, and no known exploits are currently observed in the wild, but public disclosure increases the risk of exploitation attempts.

For European organizations using the Campcodes Online Shopping Portal, this vulnerability poses significant risks. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive customer data, including personal and payment information, resulting in data breaches and regulatory non-compliance with GDPR. The integrity of product and inventory data could be compromised, disrupting business operations and causing financial losses. Additionally, attackers could leverage the vulnerability to escalate privileges or pivot to other internal systems, increasing the attack surface. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit makes it particularly dangerous, as attackers can launch attacks without insider access. This could damage brand reputation and customer trust, especially in the highly regulated European market where data protection is paramount.

Immediate mitigation should focus on input validation and sanitization of all parameters, especially the 'Category' parameter in /admin/insert-product.php. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. Conduct a thorough code review of the entire application to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities in other parameters. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting SQL injection patterns as a temporary protective measure. Restrict access to the administrative interface by IP whitelisting or VPNs to reduce exposure. Monitor logs for suspicious activities related to SQL injection attempts. Since no official patch is available, organizations should engage with the vendor for a timely fix and consider applying virtual patching techniques. Regular security assessments and penetration testing should be conducted to verify the effectiveness of mitigations.
