CVE-2025-9691 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Campcodes Online Shopping System, specifically within the /login.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper handling and sanitization of the Password parameter, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code remotely without any authentication or user interaction. This flaw enables an attacker to manipulate backend database queries, potentially extracting sensitive user credentials, modifying data, or bypassing authentication mechanisms. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, indicating a medium severity level. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requiring no privileges (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and no scope change (S:U). The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is low to medium, as the vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data disclosure or modification but is limited by the specific context of the injection point. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, but the public disclosure increases the risk of exploitation attempts. The lack of available patches or mitigations from the vendor further elevates the urgency for affected organizations to implement protective measures.

For European organizations using Campcodes Online Shopping System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to customer data confidentiality and system integrity. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to user accounts, exposure of personal and payment information, and potential manipulation of order or inventory data. This can result in financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties under GDPR due to data breaches. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the attack increases the likelihood of exploitation, especially in e-commerce environments exposed to the internet. Additionally, compromised systems could serve as a foothold for further attacks within the network, amplifying the impact. Given the critical role of online shopping platforms in retail operations, disruption or data compromise can affect business continuity and customer trust.

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the /login.php endpoint and the Password parameter. Organizations should conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially login credentials, employing parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent injection. In the absence of vendor patches, consider isolating the affected system from critical internal networks and restricting access to trusted IP ranges. Regularly monitor logs for suspicious login attempts or unusual database query patterns. Additionally, organizations should plan for an upgrade or replacement of the Campcodes Online Shopping System to a patched or more secure version once available. Conducting security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities can help identify and remediate similar issues proactively.
