CVE-2025-4929: Campcodes Shopping Portal SQLi Vulnerability

CVE-2025-4929 Overview

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Campcodes Online Shopping Portal version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the /my-account.php file where improper handling of the Name argument allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This flaw can be exploited remotely without authentication, potentially enabling unauthorized database access, data manipulation, and information disclosure.

Critical Impact

Remote attackers can exploit this SQL injection vulnerability to extract sensitive customer data, modify database records, or potentially gain further access to the underlying system through database manipulation.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-4929

Vulnerability Analysis

This vulnerability is classified as SQL Injection (CWE-89) and falls under the broader category of Injection vulnerabilities (CWE-74). The flaw exists within the /my-account.php endpoint of the Campcodes Online Shopping Portal, where user-supplied input through the Name parameter is not properly sanitized or parameterized before being incorporated into SQL queries.

The network-accessible nature of this vulnerability means that attackers can exploit it remotely without requiring any prior authentication or user interaction. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized read and write access to the application's database, potentially compromising customer personal information, order details, payment records, and administrative credentials stored within the system.

Root Cause

The root cause of this vulnerability is the lack of proper input validation and parameterized queries in the /my-account.php file. When processing the Name argument, the application directly concatenates user input into SQL statements without sanitization, creating an injection point that allows attackers to manipulate the query structure and execute arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database.

Attack Vector

The attack can be initiated remotely over the network by sending crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable /my-account.php endpoint. An attacker would manipulate the Name parameter to include SQL syntax that alters the intended query logic. This could involve techniques such as UNION-based injection to extract data from other tables, boolean-based blind injection to enumerate database contents, or stacked queries to perform data modification operations.

The exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of widespread exploitation. Attackers targeting this vulnerability would typically craft requests containing SQL metacharacters and injection payloads in the Name field, leveraging the application's failure to escape or parameterize the input.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-4929

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual or malformed requests to /my-account.php containing SQL syntax characters such as single quotes, double dashes, semicolons, or UNION keywords in the Name parameter
• Database error messages appearing in application responses indicating failed SQL query parsing
• Unexpected database query patterns in logs showing SELECT, UNION, or data extraction attempts
• Signs of data exfiltration or unauthorized database modifications in audit logs

Detection Strategies

• Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in HTTP requests targeting /my-account.php
• Monitor application logs for requests containing common SQL injection payloads such as ' OR 1=1--, UNION SELECT, or ; DROP TABLE
• Deploy database activity monitoring to identify anomalous query patterns or unauthorized data access attempts
• Utilize intrusion detection systems (IDS) with signatures for SQL injection attack patterns

Monitoring Recommendations

• Enable detailed logging on the web server for all requests to the /my-account.php endpoint
• Configure database query logging to capture and review all SQL statements executed against the application database
• Set up alerting for multiple failed or malformed requests from the same source IP
• Regularly review access logs for patterns indicative of automated SQL injection scanning tools

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-4929

Immediate Actions Required

• Immediately implement input validation and sanitization for the Name parameter in /my-account.php
• Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block requests containing SQL injection patterns
• Consider temporarily restricting access to the /my-account.php endpoint until a proper fix is implemented
• Audit database access logs for signs of prior exploitation attempts

Patch Information

As of the last modification date (2025-06-11), no official vendor patch has been publicly announced for this vulnerability. Organizations using Campcodes Online Shopping Portal 1.0 should monitor the Campcodes website for security updates and apply patches as soon as they become available. Additional technical details can be found in the GitHub CVE Issue and VulDB advisory.

Workarounds

• Implement prepared statements (parameterized queries) in the PHP code to prevent SQL injection
• Apply strict input validation to reject any non-alphanumeric characters in the Name parameter where appropriate
• Use stored procedures with parameterized inputs as an additional layer of protection
• Deploy a reverse proxy or WAF configured with SQL injection detection rules in front of the application

# Example WAF rule for ModSecurity to block SQL injection attempts

    "id:100001,\
    phase:2,\
    block,\
