CVE-2025-69564 identifies a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the Mobile Shop Management System 1.0 developed by code-projects. The vulnerability is located in the /ExAddNewUser.php script, which handles user creation functionality. Multiple input parameters—Name, Address, email, UserName, Password, confirm_password, Role, Branch, and Activate—are improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL payloads. This injection flaw permits unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database. The vulnerability does not require any authentication or user interaction, increasing its exploitability. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 reflects the critical nature of the flaw, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Exploiting this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data modification, deletion, or even full system compromise. While no public exploits are currently reported, the vulnerability's characteristics make it a prime target for attackers once exploit code becomes available. The CWE-94 tag appears to be a misclassification, as CWE-94 relates to code injection, but this is a classic SQL Injection (CWE-89) issue. The lack of available patches necessitates immediate defensive measures. Organizations using this software should audit their systems, restrict database permissions, and monitor for suspicious activity until a vendor patch is released.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive business and customer data managed by the Mobile Shop Management System. Retailers and shop management entities could suffer data breaches exposing personal customer information, including names, addresses, emails, and credentials. Attackers could manipulate or delete critical data, disrupting business operations and causing financial losses. The ability to execute arbitrary SQL commands remotely without authentication makes this vulnerability highly dangerous, potentially allowing attackers to pivot into broader network compromise. Regulatory compliance risks are also heightened, especially under GDPR, due to potential exposure of personal data. The reputational damage and legal consequences following a breach could be severe. Additionally, service outages caused by data corruption or deletion could impact customer trust and operational continuity. The threat is particularly acute for small to medium-sized enterprises that may lack robust security controls or incident response capabilities.

1. Immediately implement input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data fields in /ExAddNewUser.php, ensuring that special characters are properly escaped or rejected. 2. Refactor the application code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL Injection attacks. 3. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary, avoiding use of high-privilege accounts for application database connections. 4. Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual or suspicious SQL queries indicative of injection attempts. 5. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting SQL Injection patterns to provide an additional layer of defense. 6. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing (including automated scanning and manual penetration testing) of the affected application components. 7. Isolate the affected system within the network to limit potential lateral movement in case of compromise. 8. Engage with the software vendor or development team to obtain and apply official patches or updates as soon as they become available. 9. Educate development and operations teams about secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in future releases. 10. Prepare and test incident response plans to quickly address any exploitation attempts.
