CVE-2025-9503 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Campcodes Online Loan Management System. The vulnerability resides in the /ajax.php endpoint, specifically in the 'save_borrower' action where the 'lastname' parameter is improperly sanitized. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious SQL code through the 'lastname' argument, potentially manipulating backend database queries. The vulnerability does not require any authentication or user interaction, making it highly accessible for exploitation. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the ease of remote exploitation without privileges and the potential for partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, modification, or deletion of borrower records or other sensitive financial data stored in the system's database. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the risk of exploitation by threat actors. The absence of a vendor patch or mitigation guidance at the time of reporting further elevates the urgency for affected organizations to implement compensating controls. Given the critical nature of loan management systems in financial operations, successful exploitation could disrupt lending services, compromise customer data privacy, and damage organizational reputation.

For European organizations using Campcodes Online Loan Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses significant risks. Financial institutions and loan service providers could face unauthorized exposure of sensitive borrower information, including personal identifiers and financial data, leading to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR. Data integrity could be compromised, resulting in inaccurate loan records or fraudulent transactions. Availability impacts could disrupt loan processing services, affecting customer trust and operational continuity. The financial sector's reliance on accurate and secure loan management systems means exploitation could have cascading effects on credit risk assessment and financial reporting. Additionally, reputational damage and potential legal liabilities from data breaches could impose substantial costs. The medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is serious, the scope of impact may be limited to systems running the vulnerable version without mitigation. However, the lack of authentication requirements and remote exploitability increase the urgency for European organizations to address this threat promptly.

1. Immediate mitigation should include implementing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'lastname' parameter on the /ajax.php?action=save_borrower endpoint. 2. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, particularly the 'lastname' field, using parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 3. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential injection attacks. 4. Monitor application logs for unusual query patterns or repeated failed attempts indicative of exploitation attempts. 5. Engage with the vendor to obtain or request a security patch or updated version that addresses the vulnerability. 6. If patching is not immediately possible, consider isolating the vulnerable system from public internet access or restricting access to trusted internal networks only. 7. Perform regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection flaws to proactively identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. 8. Educate development and operations teams on secure coding practices and the importance of input validation to prevent future injection vulnerabilities.
