CVE-2025-10785 Overview
A SQL Injection vulnerability has been identified in Campcodes Grocery Sales and Inventory System version 1.0. This security flaw affects the /manage_user.php file, where improper handling of the ID argument allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, potentially compromising database integrity and exposing sensitive information stored within the system.
Critical Impact
Unauthenticated attackers can remotely exploit SQL injection in the user management functionality to extract, modify, or delete database contents, potentially compromising customer data and business records.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-10785
Vulnerability Analysis
This SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-74: Injection) exists in the /manage_user.php endpoint of the Campcodes Grocery Sales and Inventory System. The application fails to properly sanitize or parameterize user-supplied input in the ID parameter before incorporating it into SQL queries. This allows attackers to manipulate the query structure by injecting malicious SQL syntax through the ID argument.
The vulnerability is accessible over the network without requiring any privileges or user interaction, making it particularly dangerous for internet-facing deployments. An exploit is publicly available, increasing the likelihood of opportunistic attacks against vulnerable installations.
Root Cause
The root cause of this vulnerability is inadequate input validation and the absence of parameterized queries (prepared statements) in the /manage_user.php file. The ID parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without proper sanitization, escaping, or type validation. This classic injection flaw allows attacker-controlled input to break out of the intended query context and execute arbitrary SQL commands.
Attack Vector
The attack can be executed remotely by sending crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable /manage_user.php endpoint. An attacker manipulates the ID parameter to include SQL metacharacters and malicious query fragments. Since no authentication is required, any network-connected attacker can exploit this vulnerability to:
- Extract sensitive data from the database (customer information, credentials, business records)
- Modify or delete existing database records
- Potentially escalate privileges if database credentials have elevated permissions
- In some configurations, execute operating system commands through SQL server features
The vulnerability requires no special conditions to exploit—low attack complexity with no prerequisites makes this a straightforward target for automated scanning tools and opportunistic attackers.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-10785
Indicators of Compromise
- Unusual or malformed requests to /manage_user.php containing SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, INSERT, DROP, etc.)
- HTTP requests with suspicious characters in the ID parameter (single quotes, double dashes, semicolons)
- Database error messages appearing in application logs or HTTP responses
- Unexpected database queries or access patterns in database audit logs
- Evidence of data exfiltration or unauthorized database modifications
Detection Strategies
- Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in requests to /manage_user.php
- Configure intrusion detection systems (IDS) to alert on SQL injection attack signatures targeting the application
- Implement database activity monitoring to detect anomalous query patterns or unauthorized data access
- Review web server access logs for requests with encoded SQL injection payloads
Monitoring Recommendations
- Enable detailed logging for the /manage_user.php endpoint and monitor for parameter tampering
- Set up alerts for database errors that may indicate injection attempts
- Monitor outbound network traffic from the database server for potential data exfiltration
- Implement file integrity monitoring on application files to detect unauthorized modifications
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-10785
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict network access to the Grocery Sales and Inventory System to trusted IP addresses only
- Implement WAF rules to block SQL injection attempts targeting /manage_user.php
- Consider taking the application offline until a patch is available or code remediation is complete
- Review database logs for signs of prior exploitation and assess data integrity
Patch Information
No official vendor patch has been released at this time. Organizations using Campcodes Grocery Sales and Inventory System 1.0 should monitor the CampCodes website for security updates. Additional technical details about this vulnerability are available through VulDB Analysis #325141 and related GitHub Issue discussions.
Workarounds
- Implement input validation to restrict the ID parameter to numeric values only
- Deploy a reverse proxy or WAF with SQL injection filtering capabilities in front of the application
- Modify the source code to use parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database interactions
- Apply principle of least privilege to database accounts used by the application
- Consider using database stored procedures with proper input handling as an additional defense layer
# Example: Block suspicious requests to manage_user.php using ModSecurity WAF rule
SecRule ARGS:ID "@rx (?i)(\b(union|select|insert|update|delete|drop|exec)\b|--|;|')" \
"id:100001,phase:2,deny,status:403,log,msg:'SQL Injection attempt detected in ID parameter'"
