CVE Alert: CVE-2025-10793 – code-projects – E-Commerce Website

Risk verdict

High risk: remote, unauthenticated SQL injection with a publicly available PoC; treat as a priority to patch promptly.

Why this matters

An attacker can read, modify, or delete admin-related data and potentially exfiltrate customer information. With partial impact across confidentiality, integrity and availability, core admin functions could be disrupted, affecting orders, refunds, and user management.

Most likely attack path

Exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction (AV:N, AC:L, PR:N, UI:N) against the vulnerable user_id parameter in admin_account_delete.php (Scope: Unchanged). The vulnerability enables immediate SQL injection, likely leading to data leakage or modification and possible admin account manipulation, without prior foothold or complex preconditions.

Who is most exposed

Public-facing e-commerce deployments with a directly accessible admin endpoint are at greatest risk, especially smaller shops on LAMP-like stacks where input sanitisation is inconsistent or absent.

Detection ideas

• Spike in requests to admin_account_delete.php with unusual user_id values or payloads.
• SQL error messages or database error traces appearing in application logs.
• Unusual DELETE/SELECT queries targeting admin/user tables in DB logs.
• Anomalous failed/poc-style payloads in web server or WAF logs.
• Correlated alerts from RASP/WAF for SQLi patterns on that endpoint.

Mitigation and prioritisation

• Apply a hotfix or upgrade to use parameterised queries and robust input validation on user_id.
• Enforce least-privilege DB account for the web app; restrict admin-facing operations to authenticated admins only.
• Deploy WAF/IPS rules to block common SQLi patterns on admin endpoints; monitor for PoC indicators.
• Review and harden audit logging, implement alerting for admin-related operations, and perform targeted SQLi regression testing.
• Schedule patching in a controlled window and validate with a focused security test; if KEV or EPSS indicators appear later, escalate to Priority 1.
