CVE-2025-5575 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.3 of the PHPGurukul Dairy Farm Shop Management System, specifically within the /add-product.php script. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'productname' parameter, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code remotely without any authentication or user interaction. This flaw enables an attacker to manipulate backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or deletion. 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, indicating a medium severity level, reflecting the ease of remote exploitation without privileges but limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability due to partial control over the database. The vulnerability affects a niche product used for managing dairy farm shop operations, which may include inventory, sales, and customer data. Given the nature of SQL Injection, attackers could extract sensitive business data, alter product information, or disrupt shop operations, impacting business continuity and data trustworthiness.

For European organizations using the PHPGurukul Dairy Farm Shop Management System, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to operational integrity and data security. Dairy farms and related agricultural businesses in Europe that rely on this software for inventory and sales management could face unauthorized data disclosure, leading to exposure of sensitive commercial information or customer data. Data manipulation could result in inaccurate inventory records, financial discrepancies, and disruption of sales processes, potentially causing financial losses and reputational damage. Additionally, if attackers leverage this vulnerability to execute further database commands, it could lead to denial of service or persistent backdoors within the system. The impact is particularly critical for small to medium enterprises in the agricultural sector that may lack robust cybersecurity defenses and incident response capabilities.

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately review and sanitize all inputs to the /add-product.php endpoint, especially the 'productname' parameter, employing parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL Injection. Since no official patch is currently available, applying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with specific SQL Injection detection rules can provide a temporary protective layer. Conduct thorough code audits to identify and remediate similar injection points throughout the application. Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential exploitation. Regularly monitor logs for suspicious database query patterns or unusual access attempts. Organizations should also consider isolating the affected system within the network to reduce exposure and plan for an upgrade or migration to a patched or alternative solution once available.
