CVE-2025-11094: Fabian E-commerce Site SQLi Vulnerability

CVE-2025-11094 Overview

A SQL Injection vulnerability has been identified in code-projects E-Commerce Website version 1.0. This security flaw affects the /pages/admin_product_details.php file, where improper handling of the prod_id parameter allows attackers to inject malicious SQL statements. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, potentially allowing unauthorized access to the database, data manipulation, and information disclosure.

Critical Impact

This SQL Injection vulnerability enables remote attackers to manipulate database queries through the prod_id parameter, potentially compromising sensitive e-commerce data including customer information, order details, and administrative credentials.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-11094

Vulnerability Analysis

This SQL Injection vulnerability (classified under CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component) exists in the administrative product details functionality of the e-commerce application. The vulnerable endpoint /pages/admin_product_details.php fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input through the prod_id parameter before incorporating it into SQL queries.

The flaw allows attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands that are then executed against the backend database. Given the network-based attack vector with low complexity and no authentication requirements, this vulnerability presents a significant risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application's data. The exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the likelihood of exploitation in the wild.

Root Cause

The root cause of this vulnerability is insufficient input validation and lack of parameterized queries in the admin_product_details.php file. The application directly concatenates the prod_id parameter value into SQL statements without proper sanitization or escaping, allowing attackers to break out of the intended query structure and inject malicious SQL code.

Attack Vector

The attack can be launched remotely over the network. An attacker can craft a malicious HTTP request to the /pages/admin_product_details.php endpoint with a specially crafted prod_id parameter containing SQL injection payloads. Since no authentication is required, any remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to extract sensitive data, modify database contents, or potentially escalate privileges within the application.

The vulnerability allows manipulation of database queries through standard SQL injection techniques. Attackers could potentially use UNION-based, error-based, or blind SQL injection methods to extract data from the database. Given the e-commerce context, this could expose customer personal information, payment details, and administrative credentials. For additional technical details, see the GitHub CVE Repository containing the vulnerability disclosure.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-11094

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual HTTP requests to /pages/admin_product_details.php containing SQL keywords such as UNION, SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, or DROP in the prod_id parameter
• Database error messages appearing in application logs or HTTP responses indicating malformed SQL queries
• Unexpected database queries or access patterns in database audit logs
• Evidence of data exfiltration or unauthorized data modifications in the e-commerce database

Detection Strategies

• Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the prod_id parameter
• Configure intrusion detection systems (IDS) to alert on requests containing common SQL injection payloads
• Enable database query logging and monitor for anomalous query patterns or execution of unauthorized statements
• Deploy application-level logging to capture all requests to the admin_product_details.php endpoint

Monitoring Recommendations

• Monitor web server access logs for suspicious requests to /pages/admin_product_details.php with encoded or obfuscated parameters
• Set up real-time alerting for database errors that may indicate SQL injection attempts
• Review database audit logs regularly for unauthorized data access or modification attempts
• Implement anomaly detection for unusual traffic patterns targeting administrative endpoints

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-11094

Immediate Actions Required

• Restrict access to the /pages/admin_product_details.php endpoint by IP whitelist or additional authentication layers
• Implement input validation to reject prod_id values containing non-numeric characters
• Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL injection protection rules enabled
• Consider temporarily disabling the vulnerable functionality until a proper fix is applied

Patch Information

As of the last update on 2025-10-23, no official vendor patch has been released for this vulnerability. Organizations using code-projects E-Commerce Website 1.0 should implement the workarounds and mitigations described below and monitor the Code Projects Resource for security updates. Additional vulnerability details are available through VulDB #326175.

Workarounds

• Convert all database queries to use parameterized statements or prepared statements with proper input binding
• Implement strict input validation to ensure the prod_id parameter only accepts numeric values
• Apply the principle of least privilege to database accounts used by the application
• Enable database audit logging and implement monitoring for suspicious query activity
• Consider implementing a Web Application Firewall with SQL injection protection as an additional defense layer

# Example: Restrict access to vulnerable endpoint via Apache .htaccess
<Files "admin_product_details.php">
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 192.168.1.0/24
    # Add your trusted admin IP ranges
</Files>
