Executive Summary

CVE-2025-61246 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in version 1.0 of the indieka900 online-shopping-system-php application. It occurs in the review_action.php file via the proId parameter, which is directly embedded into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code remotely, enabling them to extract sensitive data, bypass authentication, modify or delete records, and potentially execute administrative operations or remote code execution.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by performing time-based blind SQL injection tests on the proId parameter in the master/review_action.php endpoint. An example payload to test is: proId=1' AND (SELECT 1 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))a)-- -. You can use the provided automated Python exploitation script (exploit.py) from the PoC repository to detect and exploit the vulnerability. Manual testing instructions are also available in the MANUAL_TESTING.md file. Commands would involve sending crafted POST requests with the payload to the vulnerable endpoint and measuring response delays to confirm the vulnerability. [1]

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing strict input validation on all user inputs, replacing dynamic SQL queries with parameterized prepared statements (e.g., using prepared statements with bound parameters for the proId parameter), deploying Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection attempts, and applying the latest security patches to the application.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows attackers to extract sensitive data such as user information, credentials, and payment data, which can lead to data breaches. Such breaches can result in non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which mandate the protection of personal and sensitive information. Therefore, exploitation of this SQL Injection vulnerability can negatively impact compliance with these standards by exposing protected data. [1]
