CVE-2025-6938 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Simple Pizza Ordering System, specifically affecting the /editcus.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the 'ID' parameter, which allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction. This flaw enables attackers 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, with an attack vector of network (remote), low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability does not require any special conditions or authentication, making it accessible to a wide range of attackers. The lack of available patches or mitigations from the vendor at this time increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls.

For European organizations using the Simple Pizza Ordering System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of customer and business data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive customer information, manipulation of order data, or disruption of business operations. Given the nature of the product—a pizza ordering system—compromise could also damage customer trust and result in regulatory penalties under GDPR if personal data is exposed. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the vulnerability increases the likelihood of exploitation, especially in environments where the system is accessible from the internet. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the food service sector, which may rely on this software due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness, are particularly vulnerable. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently limits immediate widespread impact, but the public disclosure means attackers could develop exploits rapidly.

Since no official patches or updates are currently available, European organizations should immediately implement the following mitigations: 1) Restrict network access to the Simple Pizza Ordering System, limiting it to trusted internal networks or VPNs to reduce exposure. 2) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'ID' parameter in /editcus.php. 3) Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially the 'ID' parameter, using parameterized queries or prepared statements if possible within the application code. 4) Monitor application logs for unusual or suspicious database query patterns indicative of injection attempts. 5) Consider isolating the affected system in a segmented network zone to contain potential breaches. 6) Plan for an urgent update or replacement of the vulnerable software once a vendor patch or a secure alternative becomes available. 7) Educate staff about the risks and signs of exploitation attempts to enhance detection and response capabilities.
