CVE-2025-9758 is a medium-severity SQL Injection vulnerability affecting version 1.0 of the deepakmisal24 Chemical Inventory Management System. The vulnerability resides in the /inventory_form.php file, specifically in the handling of the 'chem_name' parameter. Improper sanitization or validation of this input allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction. Exploiting this flaw could enable an attacker to manipulate backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or disruption of database integrity. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the attack can be performed remotely (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:L - low privileges), and no user interaction (UI:N). The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited but present (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L), and the scope remains unchanged (S:U). Although no known exploits are currently in the wild, public exploit code is available, increasing the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, which is a specialized chemical inventory management system likely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, or research organizations to track chemical substances and inventory data.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to entities managing chemical inventories, such as chemical manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and laboratories. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive chemical inventory data, manipulation of inventory records, or disruption of inventory management processes. This could result in regulatory compliance issues, financial losses, and operational disruptions. Given the specialized nature of the software, the impact is more pronounced in sectors where chemical inventory accuracy and confidentiality are critical for safety and regulatory adherence. Additionally, compromised inventory data could indirectly affect supply chain integrity and safety protocols. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate risk, but the availability of public exploits increases urgency for mitigation.

Organizations using deepakmisal24 Chemical Inventory Management System version 1.0 should immediately assess their exposure. Specific mitigation steps include: 1) Applying any available patches or updates from the vendor; if none exist, consider upgrading to a newer, patched version or alternative software. 2) Implementing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the 'chem_name' parameter in /inventory_form.php. 3) Conducting input validation and sanitization at the application level to ensure all user-supplied data is properly escaped or parameterized before database queries. 4) Restricting database user privileges to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential injection. 5) Monitoring logs for suspicious activity related to inventory_form.php and unusual database queries. 6) Segmenting the chemical inventory management system network to limit exposure from external networks. 7) Educating IT and security teams about this specific vulnerability and the importance of timely patching and monitoring.
