CVE-2025-6867 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in SourceCodester Simple Company Website version 1.0, specifically within the /admin/services/manage.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the 'ID' parameter, which allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection flaw can be exploited remotely without user interaction or authentication, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/UI:N/PR:H). However, the vector also notes that privileges are required (PR:H), meaning the attacker must have high-level privileges to exploit this vulnerability. The vulnerability impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the backend database, potentially allowing unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1, categorizing it as a medium severity issue. The exploit has been publicly disclosed but there are no known exploits in the wild at this time. No official patches have been linked or released yet. The vulnerability is critical in nature due to the potential for SQL injection but is mitigated somewhat by the requirement for high privileges to exploit it. The lack of user interaction and the remote attack vector increase the risk if an attacker gains the necessary privileges. The affected product is a web-based company website management system, which may be used by small to medium enterprises for managing company services and content.

For European organizations using SourceCodester Simple Company Website 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive company data stored in backend databases. Successful exploitation could lead to data breaches, data manipulation, or service disruption. This can affect business continuity, damage reputation, and lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR if personal data is exposed. The requirement for high privileges limits the risk to insiders or attackers who have already compromised an account with elevated rights, but insider threats or privilege escalation attacks could leverage this vulnerability to escalate damage. Organizations relying on this software for customer-facing or internal services could face operational disruptions and financial losses. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is serious, it is not trivially exploitable by external attackers without prior access. However, the public disclosure of the exploit increases the risk of opportunistic attacks, especially if patches or mitigations are not promptly applied.

European organizations should immediately audit their use of SourceCodester Simple Company Website 1.0 and identify any instances of the vulnerable software. Since no official patches are currently linked, organizations should implement the following specific mitigations: 1) Restrict access to the /admin/services/manage.php endpoint to trusted IP addresses and authenticated users with the minimum necessary privileges. 2) Conduct a thorough review and hardening of user privilege assignments to minimize the number of users with high-level privileges. 3) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'ID' parameter. 4) Implement input validation and parameterized queries in the application code if source code access and modification is possible. 5) Monitor logs for unusual database queries or access patterns indicative of SQL injection attempts. 6) Prepare for an upgrade or migration plan to a patched or alternative solution once available. 7) Educate internal users about the risks of privilege misuse and enforce strong authentication mechanisms to reduce the risk of privilege escalation.
