CVE-2025-5079 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the PHPGurukul/Campcodes Online Shopping Portal. The flaw exists in the /admin/updateorder.php file, specifically in the handling of the 'remark' parameter. An attacker can manipulate this argument to inject malicious SQL code, potentially allowing unauthorized access or modification of the underlying database. This vulnerability is exploitable remotely without requiring any authentication or user interaction, making it particularly dangerous. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity level. The vector details show that the attack can be performed over the network (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges or user interaction needed (PR:N/UI:N), and partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L). The vulnerability does not affect system components or require special access, and no patches or mitigations have been officially published yet. Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the existence of a published exploit increases the risk of exploitation by threat actors. SQL Injection vulnerabilities can lead to data leakage, unauthorized data manipulation, or even full system compromise depending on the database permissions and environment configuration. Given that this vulnerability affects an online shopping portal, the risk includes exposure of sensitive customer data, order manipulation, and disruption of e-commerce operations.

For European organizations using PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of customer and transactional data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of personal data protected under GDPR, resulting in regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Additionally, attackers could alter order information, causing financial losses and operational disruptions. The availability impact, while partial, could still affect service continuity, harming customer trust and business revenue. Given the remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit, attackers can easily target vulnerable systems from anywhere, increasing the threat landscape. Organizations relying on this software for e-commerce should be particularly vigilant as attackers often target retail platforms for financial gain and data theft. The lack of official patches means that affected organizations must rely on immediate mitigation strategies to reduce exposure. Overall, the vulnerability could undermine compliance, customer trust, and operational stability for European businesses using this product.

Since no official patches are currently available, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, restrict access to the /admin/updateorder.php endpoint by IP whitelisting or VPN access to limit exposure to trusted administrators only. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL Injection payloads targeting the 'remark' parameter. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially in the admin interface, to prevent injection attacks. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. If possible, upgrade or migrate to a newer, patched version of the software once available. Additionally, conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities. Educate administrators on recognizing suspicious activity and enforce the principle of least privilege on database accounts to minimize potential damage. Finally, maintain offline backups of critical data to enable recovery in case of data corruption or loss.
