CVE-2025-7457 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Campcodes Online Movie Theater Seat Reservation System. The vulnerability exists in the /admin/manage_movie.php file, specifically through improper sanitization or validation of the 'ID' parameter. An attacker can remotely exploit this flaw without any authentication or user interaction, by manipulating the 'ID' argument to inject malicious SQL code. This can lead to unauthorized access or modification of the backend database, potentially exposing sensitive data or allowing further compromise of the system. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity level, with the vector showing network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the public disclosure of the exploit code increases the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, and no official patches or mitigations have been published yet.

For European organizations using the Campcodes Online Movie Theater Seat Reservation System, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data access, including customer personal information and reservation details, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The integrity of reservation data could be compromised, leading to operational disruptions such as double bookings or denial of service to legitimate customers. Availability impacts could affect business continuity, damaging reputation and customer trust. Given the remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit, attackers could easily target vulnerable systems, increasing the likelihood of attacks. Organizations in the entertainment and event management sectors, especially those relying on this system for ticketing and seat management, are at heightened risk.

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection in the 'ID' parameter within /admin/manage_movie.php. Organizations should conduct a thorough code review of the affected module to identify and remediate similar injection points. Network-level protections such as Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) should be configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this endpoint. Restricting access to the admin interface by IP whitelisting or VPN can reduce exposure. Monitoring database logs and application logs for suspicious queries or anomalies is advised to detect potential exploitation attempts. Since no official patch is available, organizations should engage with the vendor for updates or consider temporary migration to alternative systems. Regular backups and incident response plans should be updated to prepare for potential data compromise scenarios.
