CVE-2025-7607 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Simple Shopping Cart application. The vulnerability exists in the /Customers/save_order.php file, specifically through improper handling of the 'order_price' parameter. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the backend database. This can lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data modification, or even complete compromise of the database server. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, making it highly exploitable over the network. Although the CVSS 4.0 score is 6.9 (medium severity), the nature of SQL injection vulnerabilities often allows attackers to escalate their privileges or pivot to other systems. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, but no known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The lack of available patches or mitigation guidance from the vendor increases the risk for organizations using this software. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the Simple Shopping Cart product, which is a web-based e-commerce solution used to manage shopping cart and order processing functionalities.

For European organizations using the affected Simple Shopping Cart 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer and transactional data. Exploitation could lead to theft of sensitive customer information such as payment details, order histories, and personal data, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Data tampering could disrupt order processing, leading to financial losses and reputational damage. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the attack vector increases the likelihood of exploitation by cybercriminals. Additionally, compromised systems could be leveraged as a foothold for further attacks within the organization's network. Given the criticality of e-commerce platforms in business operations, exploitation could result in operational downtime and loss of customer trust. The absence of patches necessitates immediate risk management and mitigation efforts to prevent exploitation.

Organizations should first identify if they are using code-projects Simple Shopping Cart version 1.0. Immediate mitigation steps include implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'order_price' parameter in /Customers/save_order.php. Input validation and parameterized queries should be enforced at the application level to sanitize and validate all user inputs rigorously. If source code access is available, developers should refactor the vulnerable code to use prepared statements or ORM frameworks that inherently prevent SQL injection. Network segmentation and strict access controls should be applied to limit exposure of the affected application to only trusted networks. Regular monitoring of logs for suspicious database queries or anomalous application behavior is critical. Organizations should also prepare incident response plans in case of exploitation. Until an official patch is released, these compensating controls are essential to reduce risk.
