CVE-2025-7409 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Mobile Shop application. The flaw exists in the /LoginAsAdmin.php file, specifically in the handling of the 'email' parameter. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially bypassing authentication or extracting sensitive data from the backend database. The vulnerability does not require any authentication or user interaction, making it remotely exploitable over the network. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity level, with the vector highlighting no privileges or user interaction needed, and low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no public exploits are currently known to be in the wild, the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation. The lack of available patches or mitigations from the vendor at this time further elevates the threat. SQL Injection vulnerabilities are among the most severe web application security issues because they can lead to unauthorized data access, data manipulation, or full system compromise depending on the database privileges of the affected application. Given that this vulnerability affects an e-commerce/mobile shop platform, the potential for financial data exposure and administrative account compromise is significant.

For European organizations using code-projects Mobile Shop 1.0, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk to the confidentiality and integrity of customer and transactional data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to administrative functions, enabling attackers to manipulate product listings, pricing, or customer orders, potentially causing financial loss and reputational damage. Additionally, attackers could extract personally identifiable information (PII) of European customers, violating GDPR regulations and resulting in legal and financial penalties. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the risk of widespread attacks, especially if the application is internet-facing. Disruption of availability is less likely but cannot be ruled out if attackers leverage SQL Injection for denial-of-service conditions. The medium CVSS score suggests moderate impact, but the critical classification by the vendor and the nature of the vulnerability warrant urgent attention. Organizations in Europe must consider the regulatory implications and the potential for targeted attacks against retail and e-commerce platforms.

1. Immediate code review and sanitization of all inputs, especially the 'email' parameter in /LoginAsAdmin.php, using parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL Injection. 2. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL Injection attempts targeting this endpoint. 3. Conduct thorough penetration testing and code audits on the Mobile Shop application to identify and remediate any other injection points. 4. Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary for application functionality to limit the impact of a successful injection. 5. Monitor application logs and network traffic for unusual patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 6. If possible, isolate the vulnerable application behind VPN or internal networks until a patch or fix is available. 7. Engage with the vendor or community to obtain or develop patches and apply them promptly once available. 8. Educate development teams on secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in future releases.
