CVE-2025-61548 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in edu Business Solutions Print Shop Pro WebDesk version 18.34. The vulnerability exists in the hfInventoryDistFormID parameter of the /PSP/appNET/Store/CartV12.aspx/GetUnitPrice endpoint. This parameter accepts user input that is directly embedded into SQL queries without proper sanitization, escaping, or parameterization, violating secure coding practices and CWE-89 standards. As a result, remote attackers can craft malicious input to manipulate the SQL query logic, enabling arbitrary SQL command execution. This can lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data modification, or deletion, and potentially full system compromise. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, making it highly exploitable over the network. The CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 reflects the critical nature of this flaw, with attack vector being network-based, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. Although no public exploits have been observed yet, the vulnerability's characteristics make it a prime target for attackers aiming to compromise backend databases and associated business data. The lack of available patches at the time of reporting increases the urgency for organizations to implement interim mitigations such as input validation and query parameterization. This vulnerability threatens the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems and data, posing significant risks to organizations relying on this software for print shop management and related business processes.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-61548 could lead to severe consequences including unauthorized access to sensitive business data, manipulation or deletion of critical information, and disruption of print shop operations. This can result in operational downtime, financial losses, reputational damage, and potential regulatory penalties under GDPR due to data breaches. Organizations in sectors such as education, government, and commercial print services that utilize edu Business Solutions Print Shop Pro WebDesk are particularly vulnerable. The ability of attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands remotely without authentication increases the risk of widespread compromise. Additionally, compromised systems could be leveraged as pivot points for further network intrusion, amplifying the threat. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the critical severity demands immediate attention to prevent potential attacks.

1. Immediately verify if your organization uses edu Business Solutions Print Shop Pro WebDesk version 18.34 and identify affected endpoints. 2. Apply any official patches or updates released by edu Business Solutions as soon as they become available. 3. In the absence of patches, implement strict input validation on the hfInventoryDistFormID parameter to allow only expected data types and formats. 4. Refactor the application code to use parameterized queries or stored procedures to prevent direct concatenation of user input into SQL statements. 5. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 6. Conduct thorough security testing, including automated and manual penetration tests focused on SQL Injection vectors. 7. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual database query patterns or error messages indicative of exploitation attempts. 8. Educate development and operations teams on secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future. 9. Consider network segmentation to isolate critical print shop management systems from broader enterprise networks. 10. Prepare incident response plans tailored to SQL Injection attacks to enable rapid containment and recovery.
