CVE-2025-7454 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Campcodes Online Movie Theater Seat Reservation System. The vulnerability exists in an unspecified function within the /admin/manage_theater.php file, where the manipulation of the 'ID' parameter allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This injection flaw enables remote exploitation without requiring authentication or user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N). The vulnerability impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the underlying database, potentially allowing attackers to extract sensitive data, modify or delete records, or disrupt service availability. Although the CVSS score is 6.9 (medium severity), the description classifies it as critical, reflecting the serious nature of SQL injection flaws. The vulnerability is publicly disclosed, but no known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The lack of patches or mitigation links suggests that the vendor has not yet released an official fix. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, which is a niche system used for managing seat reservations in movie theaters. The attack surface is primarily the administrative interface, which may limit exposure depending on deployment configurations. However, if the admin interface is accessible remotely without adequate protections, the risk is significant. Given the nature of SQL injection, attackers could leverage this flaw to compromise backend databases, leading to data breaches or operational disruptions.

For European organizations using the Campcodes Online Movie Theater Seat Reservation System, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to data confidentiality and system integrity. The ability to remotely exploit the SQL injection without authentication means attackers can potentially access sensitive customer data, including personal information and booking details, or manipulate reservation records. This could lead to privacy violations under GDPR, resulting in regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Additionally, attackers could disrupt theater operations by corrupting or deleting reservation data, causing financial losses and customer dissatisfaction. The impact is particularly critical for organizations relying on this system for real-time seat management and ticketing. Since the vulnerability affects the administrative interface, organizations with exposed or poorly secured admin portals are at higher risk. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate threat levels, but public disclosure increases the likelihood of future attacks. European theaters and entertainment venues using this system should consider the potential for targeted attacks, especially in countries with high digital adoption in the entertainment sector.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should immediately restrict access to the /admin/manage_theater.php interface by implementing network-level controls such as VPNs, IP whitelisting, or firewall rules limiting access to trusted administrators only. Input validation and parameterized queries should be implemented or verified in the affected code to prevent SQL injection. Since no official patch is currently available, organizations should consider applying virtual patching via Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'ID' parameter. Regularly monitoring logs for suspicious activity related to the admin interface is critical. Organizations should also conduct a thorough security review of all input handling in the application and plan for an upgrade or patch deployment once the vendor releases a fix. Additionally, segregating the database with least privilege access and encrypting sensitive data at rest can reduce the impact of a successful exploit. Finally, educating administrative users about the risks and enforcing strong authentication mechanisms can further reduce exposure.
