CVE-2025-10857

Vulnerability

Overview

An SQL injection vulnerability exists in Campcodes Point of Sale System POS 1.0. The flaw affects the /login.php endpoint, where manipulation of the Username argument allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the application's database query. This is a classic unauthenticated SQL injection that requires no special privileges beyond network access to the login page. [1]

Exploitation

Details

The attack vector is remote and does not require authentication. An attacker can craft a malicious Username parameter containing SQL-specific payloads (e.g., using single quotes or boolean-based conditions) as part of an HTTP request to /login.php. The absence of input sanitization or prepared statements means the injected SQL commands are executed directly by the database backend. Public exploit code has already been released, increasing the immediacy of the threat. [1]

Impact and

Risk

A successful SQL injection can enable an attacker to bypass authentication entirely, gain unauthorized administrative access to the POS system, and extract, modify, or delete sensitive data such as customer records, inventory details, and transaction logs. Given that this is a point-of-sale application, data exfiltration could include financial information, resulting in serious confidentiality and integrity breaches. [1]

Mitigation

Status

As of publication, no official patch has been announced by Campcodes for version 1.0. The vendor's website indicates that this project may be a free or open-source system, but no security update or advisory has been released. Users are strongly advised to immediately implement input validation and parameterized queries on the login form, restrict network access to the administrative interface where possible, and monitor logs for suspicious login attempts until a vendor fix is available.
