CVE-2025-6962 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Campcodes Employee Management System, specifically within the /myprofileup.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'ID' parameter, which allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection can be executed remotely without any authentication or user interaction, making exploitation straightforward. The vulnerability permits attackers to manipulate backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even complete compromise of the database. Although the CVSS 4.0 score is 6.9 (medium severity), the classification as critical by the vendor suggests the impact could be significant, especially considering the sensitive nature of employee management systems that typically store personal and organizational data. The vulnerability does not require privileges or user interaction, increasing the risk of automated exploitation. No patches or mitigations have been officially released yet, and while no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the public disclosure of the exploit code increases the likelihood of imminent attacks.

For European organizations using Campcodes Employee Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of employee data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of personal employee information, including sensitive HR data, which would violate GDPR regulations and result in legal and financial penalties. Integrity of employee records could be compromised, affecting payroll, attendance, and other critical HR functions. Availability of the system could also be impacted if attackers execute destructive SQL commands or cause database corruption. The remote, unauthenticated nature of the vulnerability increases the attack surface, making it easier for threat actors to target organizations without needing insider access. This could lead to reputational damage, operational disruption, and regulatory scrutiny for affected European companies.

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious SQL injection payloads targeting the /myprofileup.php endpoint and the 'ID' parameter. Organizations should conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially parameters used in SQL queries. Employing parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code is critical to prevent injection. Since no official patch is available, organizations should consider temporarily disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable functionality if feasible. Regularly monitor logs for suspicious activity related to SQL injection attempts. Additionally, organizations should plan for an urgent update or patch deployment once the vendor releases a fix. Conducting a comprehensive security audit of the entire application to identify and remediate similar injection flaws is advisable. Finally, ensure that database accounts used by the application have the minimum necessary privileges to limit the impact of a successful injection.
