Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations using Campcodes Payroll Management System 1.0 should immediately audit their systems for the presence of the vulnerable version. In the absence of an official patch, organizations should implement the following mitigations: 1) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the /ajax.php?action=delete_position endpoint, specifically filtering suspicious 'ID' parameter inputs. 2) Restrict network access to the payroll management system to trusted internal IP ranges and VPNs to reduce exposure to external attackers. 3) Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization at the application layer, if source code access is available, to neutralize malicious inputs. 4) Monitor logs for anomalous database queries or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. 5) Prepare incident response plans focusing on data breach containment and notification in compliance with GDPR. 6) Engage with the vendor for updates or patches and plan for timely system upgrades once available. 7) Consider isolating the payroll system in a segmented network zone to limit lateral movement in case of compromise.

Description

A vulnerability was found in Campcodes Payroll Management System 1.0 and classified as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /ajax.php?action=delete_position. The manipulation of the argument ID leads to sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive employee payroll data, including personal identification and salary information. This exposure risks violating the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), potentially resulting in significant fines and legal consequences. Manipulation of payroll data could disrupt business operations, cause financial discrepancies, and erode employee trust. Given the critical nature of payroll systems in organizational workflows, successful exploitation could also lead to operational downtime and increased incident response costs. Additionally, the public disclosure of the vulnerability may prompt threat actors to develop and deploy automated attack tools targeting European companies using this system, increasing the likelihood of widespread exploitation.

Summary

CVE-2025-7218 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Campcodes Payroll Management System. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'ID' parameter in the /ajax.php?action=delete_position endpoint. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially altering or extracting sensitive payroll data from the backend database. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, making it accessible to unauthenticated remote attackers. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no privileges or user interaction required. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is rated as low individually but combined could lead to significant data exposure or unauthorized data modification. Although no exploits are currently known in the wild, the public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the risk of exploitation. The lack of available patches or mitigation from the vendor further elevates the threat. Payroll systems typically contain sensitive employee information and financial data, making this vulnerability particularly critical in environments where the Campcodes Payroll Management System is deployed. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability could exfiltrate payroll records, manipulate salary data, or disrupt payroll operations, leading to financial loss, reputational damage, and regulatory compliance issues.
