CVE-2025-7514 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Modern Bag application. The vulnerability exists in the /admin/contact-list.php file, specifically through the manipulation of the 'idStatus' parameter. This parameter is not properly sanitized or validated, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL queries directly into the backend database. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring any authentication or user interaction, which significantly increases the risk of exploitation. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or deletion, and in some cases, full compromise of the underlying database and application. Although the CVSS 4.0 score is 6.9 (medium severity), the description rates it as critical, reflecting the high impact of SQL injection flaws when exploited. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of Modern Bag, and no patches or fixes have been publicly disclosed yet. There are no known exploits in the wild at the time of publication, but the exploit details have been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of imminent attacks.

For European organizations using Modern Bag 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their data. Attackers could leverage this flaw to extract sensitive customer or business data, alter records, or disrupt operations by corrupting the database. Given that the vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication, attackers can target exposed administrative interfaces directly over the internet. This could lead to data breaches involving personal data protected under GDPR, resulting in regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Additionally, if the compromised database contains critical business information or credentials, attackers could pivot to further internal systems, amplifying the impact. The lack of a patch and public exploit disclosure increases urgency for European organizations to implement mitigations promptly to avoid potential exploitation.

1. Immediate mitigation should include restricting access to the /admin/contact-list.php endpoint by implementing network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN-only access for administrative interfaces. 2. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'idStatus' parameter. 3. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all parameters, especially 'idStatus', to ensure only expected data types and values are accepted. 4. If possible, upgrade or patch the Modern Bag application once an official fix is released. Until then, consider disabling or restricting the vulnerable functionality if feasible. 5. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint to detect potential exploitation attempts early. 6. Educate administrators about the risk and encourage prompt reporting of suspicious activity. 7. As a longer-term measure, perform a comprehensive security review of the application to identify and remediate similar injection flaws.
