CVE-2025-7461 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Modern Bag application. The vulnerability exists in the /action.php file, specifically through the manipulation of the 'proId' parameter. An attacker can remotely exploit this flaw without requiring authentication or user interaction. By injecting malicious SQL code into the 'proId' parameter, the attacker can manipulate backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even complete compromise of the database. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity level, with a vector showing network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability does not affect system components beyond the application layer and does not require special conditions to exploit, making it a significant risk for affected deployments.

For European organizations using the Modern Bag 1.0 application, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the backend database, including potentially customer information, transaction records, or proprietary business data. Exploitation could lead to data breaches, loss of data integrity, and disruption of business operations. Given the remote exploitability and lack of authentication requirements, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to compromise systems at scale if the application is widely deployed. This could result in regulatory non-compliance issues under GDPR due to unauthorized data exposure. Additionally, reputational damage and financial losses could arise from operational disruptions or data theft. The medium severity rating suggests that while the impact is significant, it may be mitigated by existing network defenses or limited by the scope of the application’s deployment.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should prioritize the following actions: 1) Apply patches or updates from the vendor as soon as they become available; since no patch links are currently provided, organizations should monitor vendor communications closely. 2) Implement input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the /action.php script to prevent SQL injection attacks. 3) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'proId' parameter. 4) Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing on the Modern Bag application, especially focusing on database interaction points. 5) Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential exploitation. 6) Monitor application logs and network traffic for unusual activity related to the 'proId' parameter or unexpected database errors. 7) If feasible, isolate the affected application environment to reduce lateral movement risks. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific vulnerable parameter and application context.
