CVE-2025-6665 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Inventory Management System, specifically within the /php_action/editBrand.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'editBrandStatus' parameter, which is directly used in SQL queries. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL code by manipulating this parameter, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or database corruption. The vulnerability is exploitable without any authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, categorized as medium severity, reflecting the ease of remote exploitation but limited scope of impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (each rated low). No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, but public disclosure of the vulnerability details increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The affected product is an inventory management system, which typically manages critical business data such as product details, stock levels, and supplier information. Given the nature of SQL Injection, attackers could extract sensitive business information, alter inventory data, or disrupt business operations by corrupting the database. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or privileges, making it accessible to any remote attacker aware of the flaw. No official patches or mitigation links have been published at this time, which increases the urgency for organizations using this system to implement protective measures.

For European organizations using the affected Inventory Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to business continuity and data security. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive inventory and supplier data, potentially impacting confidentiality. Integrity of inventory records could be compromised, leading to inaccurate stock levels, financial discrepancies, and operational disruptions. Availability impact is possible if attackers corrupt or delete database records, causing system outages or degraded performance. Organizations in sectors relying heavily on inventory accuracy, such as retail, manufacturing, and logistics, may face operational and financial losses. Additionally, compromised data could lead to regulatory compliance issues under GDPR if personal or sensitive data is exposed. The medium CVSS score reflects moderate impact but the ease of exploitation and lack of authentication requirements elevate the threat level in real-world scenarios. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate widespread impact, but public disclosure increases the risk of targeted attacks, especially against organizations slow to respond.

1. Immediate mitigation should include implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting the 'editBrandStatus' parameter. 2. Conduct a thorough code review and apply input validation and parameterized queries (prepared statements) in the /php_action/editBrand.php file to sanitize all user inputs, especially 'editBrandStatus'. 3. If possible, restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint by IP whitelisting or network segmentation to limit exposure. 4. Monitor application logs and database logs for unusual query patterns or repeated failed attempts that may indicate exploitation attempts. 5. Engage with the vendor or community to obtain or develop an official patch or upgrade to a fixed version once available. 6. Perform regular backups of the database and verify their integrity to enable recovery in case of data corruption or deletion. 7. Educate IT and security teams about the vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include steps for SQL Injection attacks. 8. Consider deploying runtime application self-protection (RASP) tools that can detect and block injection attacks in real time within the application environment.
