Overview
CVE-2025-13424 is a medium severity SQL injection vulnerability discovered in Campcodes Supplier Management System version 1.0. This vulnerability affects the /admin/add_product.php file and allows a remote attacker to inject malicious SQL code through the txtProductName argument. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion within the application’s database.
The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, making it crucial for users of Campcodes Supplier Management System 1.0 to take immediate action to mitigate the risk.
Technical Details
The vulnerability resides within the /admin/add_product.php script. The application fails to properly sanitize or validate user-supplied input passed through the txtProductName parameter before using it in a database query. An attacker can craft a malicious payload containing SQL code and inject it via the txtProductName argument. This injected SQL code is then executed by the database server, potentially allowing the attacker to:
- Retrieve sensitive data from the database.
- Modify existing data.
- Insert new data.
- Potentially execute arbitrary commands on the database server (depending on database configuration and permissions).
The publicly available exploit makes exploitation straightforward, requiring minimal technical expertise.
CVSS Analysis
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score for CVE-2025-13424 is 4.7 (Medium).
This score reflects the following characteristics:
- Attack Vector: Network (AV:N) – The vulnerability can be exploited over a network.
- Attack Complexity: Low (AC:L) – Exploitation requires little to no specialized access conditions or circumstances.
- Privileges Required: High (PR:H) – Attacker needs to have High privileges to exploit this vulnerability, may be due to the admin privilege requirements on /admin/add_product.php.
- User Interaction: None (UI:N) – No user interaction is required to trigger the vulnerability.
- Scope: Unchanged (S:U) – An exploited vulnerability cannot affect resources beyond the security scope managed by the security authority of the vulnerable component.
- Confidentiality Impact: Partial (C:P) – There is some loss of confidentiality.
- Integrity Impact: Partial (I:P) – There is some loss of integrity.
- Availability Impact: None (A:N) – There is no impact to availability.
While the score is medium, the ease of exploitation and the potential for data compromise necessitate prompt remediation.
Possible Impact
Successful exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability can have significant consequences, including:
- Data Breach: Sensitive customer data, supplier information, or other business-critical data could be exposed.
- Data Manipulation: Attackers could modify product prices, inventory levels, or other important data, leading to financial losses or operational disruptions.
- Account Takeover: In some cases, attackers might be able to gain access to administrator accounts.
- Reputational Damage: A data breach or other security incident can severely damage the reputation of the organization using the vulnerable software.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
To mitigate the risk posed by CVE-2025-13424, the following steps are recommended:
- Apply the Patch: The most effective solution is to obtain and apply the official patch or upgrade to a patched version of Campcodes Supplier Management System if one is available from Campcodes.com. Check the Campcodes website or contact their support for information on available updates.
- Input Validation: Implement robust input validation and sanitization techniques for all user-supplied data, especially the
txtProductNameparameter in the/admin/add_product.phpscript. Use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. - Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to detect and block malicious SQL injection attempts. Configure the WAF with rules specifically designed to protect against SQL injection vulnerabilities.
- Least Privilege Principle: Ensure that the database user account used by the application has only the minimum necessary privileges. This limits the potential damage an attacker can cause if they successfully exploit the vulnerability.
- Regular Security Audits: Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities in your systems.
