CVE-2025-13260 Overview
CVE-2025-13260 is a SQL injection vulnerability in Campcodes Supplier Management System version 1.0. The flaw resides in the /manufacturer/edit_product.php script, where the cmbProductUnit parameter is passed directly into a SQL query without sanitization. An authenticated remote attacker can manipulate this parameter to alter database queries. The exploit details have been published, increasing the risk of opportunistic abuse against exposed installations.
Critical Impact
Authenticated attackers can inject arbitrary SQL through the cmbProductUnit parameter, exposing supplier, manufacturer, and product records to unauthorized read, modification, or deletion.
Affected Products
- Campcodes Supplier Management System 1.0
- Deployments using the /manufacturer/edit_product.php endpoint
- Web applications based on the unpatched Campcodes codebase

Technical Details for CVE-2025-13260
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability is classified under [CWE-89] (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) and [CWE-74] (Improper Neutralization in Output). The edit_product.php script processes the cmbProductUnit HTTP parameter and concatenates it into a SQL statement executed against the backend database. Because the input is not parameterized or escaped, attackers can append SQL fragments that change the original query's logic. The attack is launched over the network and requires low privileges, which any authenticated manufacturer-role user can satisfy. Public disclosure of the exploit details lowers the barrier for proof-of-concept reuse.
Root Cause
The root cause is the direct interpolation of user-controlled input into a SQL query string. The application does not use prepared statements or parameter binding for the cmbProductUnit field on the product edit form. Input validation is also absent, allowing metacharacters such as single quotes, comments, and UNION clauses to reach the database engine.
Attack Vector
An attacker authenticates to the supplier management application and submits a crafted POST request to /manufacturer/edit_product.php. The cmbProductUnit value contains SQL syntax that breaks out of the original statement. Successful exploitation enables data extraction through UNION-based queries, blind boolean techniques, or error-based payloads. Depending on database user privileges, attackers may also write files or escalate to operating system command execution.
The vulnerability mechanism is described in the GitHub CVE Issue Tracker and the VulDB advisory. No verified exploit code is mirrored here.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-13260
Indicators of Compromise
- HTTP POST requests to /manufacturer/edit_product.php containing SQL metacharacters such as ', --, UNION, or SLEEP( in the cmbProductUnit parameter
- Unexpected database errors or long response times originating from the edit_product workflow
- Web server logs showing repeated parameter manipulation from a single authenticated session
Detection Strategies
- Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) signatures targeting SQL injection patterns on the cmbProductUnit parameter
- Enable database query logging and alert on syntactically anomalous statements originating from the application user
- Correlate authentication events with subsequent abuse of administrative endpoints to identify low-privilege accounts probing for injection
Monitoring Recommendations
- Forward web server, application, and database logs to a centralized analytics platform for cross-source correlation
- Track baseline request volume and payload size for /manufacturer/edit_product.php and alert on deviations
- Review accounts with manufacturer role privileges for unusual login times or source IP addresses
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-13260
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict network access to the Campcodes Supplier Management System to trusted internal networks or VPN users
- Disable or remove the /manufacturer/edit_product.php endpoint until a vendor fix is applied
- Rotate database credentials and review the privileges of the database account used by the application
- Audit recent activity in product, manufacturer, and user tables for unauthorized modifications
Patch Information
No official vendor patch is referenced in the NVD entry or VulDB submissions at the time of writing. Operators should monitor the Camp Codes website and the VulDB entry for fix announcements. Until an upstream patch is released, source code modification to use parameterized queries is the recommended remediation.
Workarounds
- Apply a WAF rule that rejects SQL metacharacters in the cmbProductUnit POST parameter
- Modify edit_product.php to use prepared statements with bound parameters via mysqli or PDO
- Enforce strict server-side allow-list validation for product unit values, accepting only expected enum entries
- Reduce database account privileges to the minimum required, removing FILE, CREATE, and DROP rights
# Example WAF rule (ModSecurity) blocking SQLi in cmbProductUnit
SecRule ARGS:cmbProductUnit "@rx (?i)(union(\s|\+)+select|--|';|/\*|sleep\(|benchmark\()" \
