CVE-2025-7513 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Modern Bag application. The vulnerability exists in the /admin/slideupdate.php file, specifically through the manipulation of the 'idSlide' parameter. An attacker can remotely exploit this flaw without any authentication or user interaction, by injecting malicious SQL code via the idSlide argument. This can lead to unauthorized access or modification of the backend database, potentially exposing sensitive data, altering application behavior, or enabling further attacks such as privilege escalation or data destruction. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no known 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 vulnerability does not require user interaction and affects the application’s administrative functionality, which may be less exposed but critical if accessed.

For European organizations using code-projects Modern Bag 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their data. Exploitation could allow attackers to extract sensitive information from the database, modify or delete records, or disrupt administrative functions. This could lead to data breaches, loss of customer trust, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations), and operational disruptions. Given the administrative nature of the affected endpoint, successful exploitation could also facilitate further lateral movement within the network or privilege escalation. Organizations in sectors handling sensitive personal or financial data are particularly at risk. The public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the urgency for European entities to assess and remediate the issue promptly to prevent potential attacks.

1. Immediate application of any available patches or updates from the vendor is the most effective mitigation. Since no patch links are currently provided, organizations should monitor vendor communications closely. 2. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'idSlide' parameter in /admin/slideupdate.php. 3. Restrict access to the /admin directory to trusted IP addresses or via VPN to reduce exposure. 4. Conduct thorough input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code to prevent SQL injection. 5. Perform regular security audits and penetration testing focusing on administrative interfaces. 6. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 7. Educate administrators on the risks and signs of exploitation to enable rapid incident response.
