Can an infant be legitimately baptized if the parents are in the state of mortal sin at the time?

One has nothing to do with the other, provided that there is a founded hope the child will be raised in the Faith.

Yes.
. Basic Guidelines and Information for Infant (to include young children) Baptism (Code of Canon Law, cc. 867-868; Catechism of the Catholic Church 1251)
Parents are responsible for bringing their child to the Sacrament of Baptism as soon after birth as possible. Except in case of necessity, the church is the usual place of baptism.
In order that a child be baptized, it is necessary that the parents consent, or at least one of them, or someone legally standing in their place, and that there is reasonable hope that the child will be brought up in the Catholic Faith.

Absolutely. (Now, in some cases, a good argument can be made that the baptism ought not to have occurred – scandal and all – but it is still valid. God, please have mercy and bless all our children.)
