CVE-2025-7509 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects product named Modern Bag. The vulnerability exists in the /admin/slide.php file, specifically through the manipulation of the 'idSlide' parameter. An attacker can remotely exploit this flaw without requiring any authentication or user interaction, which allows them to inject malicious SQL commands into the backend database queries. This can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even complete compromise of the database and potentially the underlying system. The vulnerability is classified with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, indicating a medium severity level, primarily due to limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (all rated low), but with ease of exploitation (network vector, no privileges, no user interaction). Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the public disclosure of the exploit code increases the risk of active exploitation. The lack of available patches or mitigations from the vendor further exacerbates the threat. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of Modern Bag, which is a niche product likely used in specific web application contexts, particularly administrative interfaces managing slides or content elements.

For European organizations using Modern Bag 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data tampering, or disruption of administrative functionalities. Given that the attack vector is remote and requires no authentication, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to gain deeper access into internal networks or pivot to other systems. This is especially critical for organizations handling sensitive customer data or intellectual property. The impact is heightened for companies relying on Modern Bag for e-commerce or content management, as compromise could result in reputational damage, regulatory penalties under GDPR for data breaches, and operational downtime. However, the medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is exploitable, the overall damage might be limited by the scope of the affected component and the low impact on availability. Nonetheless, the public availability of exploit code increases the urgency for mitigation.

Immediate mitigation should focus on restricting access to the /admin/slide.php endpoint through network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN-only access to administrative interfaces. Implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'idSlide' parameter can provide a temporary shield. Organizations should conduct thorough input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in their codebase to prevent SQL injection, although this requires vendor cooperation or internal code modifications if the product is customized. Monitoring logs for suspicious query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint is critical for early detection. Since no official patches are available, organizations should consider isolating or replacing the affected product version with updated or alternative solutions. Additionally, regular backups and incident response plans should be reviewed to prepare for potential exploitation scenarios.
