How CVE-2025-5078 Works
The vulnerability exists in Campcodes Online Shopping Portal 1.0 within the `/admin/subcategory.php` file due to improper sanitization of the `Category` parameter. Attackers can inject malicious SQL queries through this parameter, leading to unauthorized database access. Since the application does not enforce prepared statements or input validation, the SQL query concatenates user-supplied data directly, allowing attackers to manipulate database operations. Remote exploitation is possible without authentication, making this a critical threat. Successful exploitation could result in data theft, authentication bypass, or full system compromise.
