Deeper analysis

CVE-2023-4548 is a SQL injection vulnerability in SPA-Cart eCommerce CMS version 1.9.0.3. It resides in the GET parameter handler for the /search endpoint, where unsanitized input to the filter[brandid] argument allows an attacker to alter database queries. The issue is tracked under CWE-89 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.3.

An authenticated remote attacker can supply crafted values to the affected parameter and obtain limited read, write, and disruption capabilities against the backend database. No special user interaction or adjacent network access is required, and the attack can be launched over the network with low attack complexity.

Public references include a PacketStorm entry that publishes proof-of-concept exploit code for the flaw, along with detailed entries on VulDB. The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.1297 on 2025-01-22 before receding to its current value of 0.0168, indicating a period of increased exploitation interest after disclosure.
