CVE-2025-69564: Mobile Shop Management System SQLi Flaw

CVE-2025-69564 Overview

A critical SQL Injection vulnerability has been identified in code-projects Mobile Shop Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the /ExAddNewUser.php endpoint, which fails to properly sanitize user input across multiple parameters including Name, Address, email, UserName, Password, confirm_password, Role, Branch, and Activate. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands and potentially compromise the entire database backend.

Critical Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this SQL Injection vulnerability to extract sensitive data, modify database contents, bypass authentication, and potentially achieve complete system compromise through network-accessible attack vectors.

Affected Products

• code-projects Mobile Shop Management System 1.0
• /ExAddNewUser.php endpoint with vulnerable parameters

Technical Details for CVE-2025-69564

Vulnerability Analysis

This SQL Injection vulnerability affects the user creation functionality within the Mobile Shop Management System. The /ExAddNewUser.php endpoint accepts multiple user-controllable input parameters that are incorporated directly into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization. The vulnerable parameters span the entire user registration form: Name, Address, email, UserName, Password, confirm_password, Role, Branch, and Activate.

The flaw is classified under CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code), indicating that attacker-supplied input can modify the structure and intent of SQL statements executed by the application. Given the network-accessible nature of this endpoint and the lack of authentication requirements, any remote attacker can craft malicious requests to exploit this vulnerability.

Root Cause

The root cause is improper input validation and the use of unsanitized user input in SQL query construction. The application directly concatenates user-supplied values from form fields into SQL statements rather than using prepared statements or parameterized queries. This fundamental coding flaw allows attackers to break out of the intended query structure and inject arbitrary SQL commands.

Attack Vector

The attack can be executed remotely over the network by sending crafted HTTP requests to the /ExAddNewUser.php endpoint. An attacker does not require any authentication or prior privileges to exploit this vulnerability. By injecting SQL metacharacters and commands through any of the nine vulnerable parameters (Name, Address, email, UserName, Password, confirm_password, Role, Branch, or Activate), an attacker can:

• Extract sensitive data from the database including user credentials and customer information
• Modify or delete database records
• Bypass authentication mechanisms
• Potentially escalate to operating system command execution depending on database configuration

The vulnerability is exploitable by crafting HTTP POST requests with SQL injection payloads in the vulnerable form fields. Technical details and proof-of-concept information can be found in the GitHub Gist reference and the Gitee issue tracker.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-69564

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual SQL error messages in application logs or HTTP responses from /ExAddNewUser.php
• Unexpected database queries containing SQL metacharacters such as single quotes, semicolons, or UNION statements
• Web server access logs showing suspicious requests to /ExAddNewUser.php with encoded or malformed parameters
• Database audit logs revealing unauthorized data access or modification patterns

Detection Strategies

• Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in requests to /ExAddNewUser.php
• Implement database activity monitoring to alert on anomalous query patterns or unauthorized data access
• Configure intrusion detection systems (IDS) with signatures for common SQL injection payloads targeting the identified parameters
• Enable verbose logging on the web application to capture and analyze requests containing potential injection attempts

Monitoring Recommendations

• Monitor HTTP requests to /ExAddNewUser.php for SQL injection indicators including UNION SELECT, OR 1=1, and comment sequences
• Set up alerts for database errors that may indicate SQL injection attempts
• Track database query execution times as injection attacks may cause unusual query performance
• Review authentication logs for signs of bypass attempts or unauthorized account creation

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-69564

Immediate Actions Required

• Restrict access to /ExAddNewUser.php by implementing IP-based access controls or taking the endpoint offline until patched
• Deploy WAF rules specifically targeting SQL injection attacks on the affected endpoint
• Implement input validation on all nine vulnerable parameters (Name, Address, email, UserName, Password, confirm_password, Role, Branch, Activate)
• Review database access logs for evidence of prior exploitation and assess potential data breach scope

Patch Information

No official vendor patch information is currently available for this vulnerability. Organizations using code-projects Mobile Shop Management System 1.0 should contact the vendor for remediation guidance or implement the workarounds below. Additional technical details can be found in the GitHub Gist documentation and Gitee issue discussion.

Workarounds

• Implement prepared statements with parameterized queries for all database interactions in /ExAddNewUser.php
• Apply strict input validation and sanitization to all user-supplied parameters before processing
• Use a Web Application Firewall to filter malicious SQL injection payloads
• Consider disabling the vulnerable user registration endpoint until proper remediation can be applied
• Implement least privilege database access to minimize impact of successful exploitation

# Example: Restrict access to vulnerable endpoint via Apache .htaccess
<Files "ExAddNewUser.php">
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 192.168.1.0/24
</Files>
