CVE-2025-8333 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the code-projects Online Farm System, specifically within an unspecified functionality of the /categoryvalue.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'Value' parameter, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction. This flaw can be exploited by crafting specially crafted HTTP requests that manipulate the 'Value' argument, leading to unauthorized database queries. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no known exploits are currently observed in the wild. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, reflecting a medium severity level, with the vector indicating network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability could allow attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data stored in the backend database, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized data manipulation, or disruption of service. Since the Online Farm System is likely used to manage agricultural data and operations, exploitation could impact business continuity and data integrity for organizations relying on this software.

For European organizations using the Online Farm System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their agricultural data and operational workflows. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information such as farm production data, client details, or financial records. Integrity violations could result in corrupted or falsified data, affecting decision-making and operational efficiency. Availability impacts, while limited, could disrupt system functionality temporarily. Given the remote exploitability without authentication, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to gain persistent access or pivot to other internal systems. This is particularly concerning for European agricultural enterprises and supply chain partners who depend on accurate and secure data management. Additionally, regulatory compliance under GDPR mandates protection of personal and sensitive data, and exploitation could lead to legal and financial penalties. The public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the urgency for European organizations to assess and remediate this risk promptly.

1. Immediate application of patches or updates from the vendor once available is critical; since no patch links are currently provided, organizations should monitor vendor communications closely. 2. Implement Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'Value' parameter in /categoryvalue.php. 3. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially the 'Value' parameter, using parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent injection. 4. Perform regular security assessments and code reviews of the Online Farm System to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. 5. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of a successful injection attack. 6. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual database queries or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 7. Consider network segmentation to isolate the Online Farm System from critical infrastructure and sensitive data repositories. 8. Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include steps for SQL injection attacks.
