CVE-2025-7509 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Modern Bag application, specifically within the /admin/slide.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'idSlide' parameter, which is susceptible to malicious input manipulation. An attacker can exploit this flaw remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction, by injecting crafted SQL commands through the idSlide parameter. This can lead to unauthorized access to the backend database, allowing the attacker to read, modify, or delete sensitive data, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application data. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no active exploits have been reported in the wild yet. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity level, reflecting the ease of remote exploitation without privileges but with limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (each rated low). The absence of patches or vendor-provided mitigations at this time further elevates the risk for users of this software version.

For European organizations using code-projects Modern Bag 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to their web application security posture. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data manipulation, or service disruption, impacting business operations and potentially violating data protection regulations such as the GDPR. The ability to exploit remotely without authentication increases the attack surface, making it easier for threat actors to compromise systems. Sensitive business or customer data stored in the affected database could be exposed or altered, leading to reputational damage and legal consequences. Additionally, if the compromised system is part of a larger network, attackers might leverage this foothold for lateral movement or further attacks. The medium severity rating suggests that while the impact is not catastrophic, the vulnerability should be addressed promptly to prevent escalation or combined attacks.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of code-projects Modern Bag 1.0 and restrict access to the /admin/slide.php endpoint, ideally limiting it to trusted IP addresses or VPNs. Input validation and parameter sanitization should be implemented or enhanced to neutralize malicious SQL input, employing prepared statements or parameterized queries to prevent injection. Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the idSlide parameter. Monitoring and logging of web requests to detect anomalous activity related to this endpoint are recommended. Since no official patch is currently available, organizations should consider isolating or disabling the vulnerable functionality until a vendor fix is released. Regular backups of the database should be maintained to enable recovery in case of data compromise. Finally, organizations should stay alert for vendor updates or community patches addressing this vulnerability.
