Attackers can potentially extract, modify, or delete database contents, including sensitive user information. All users running affected versions of this food ordering management system are at risk.
💻 Affected Systems
- SourceCodester Food Ordering Management System
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, authentication bypass, privilege escalation, and potential remote code execution if database functions allow it.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive data including user credentials, personal information, and order details, potentially leading to data breaches and system compromise.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only allowing information disclosure without data modification.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit code is publicly available on GitHub, making this easily exploitable by attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider upgrading to a newer version if available, or implement workarounds and manual fixes.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Parameterized Queries
allModify login.php to use prepared statements with parameterized queries instead of concatenating user input into SQL statements.
Replace vulnerable SQL queries with prepared statements using PDO or mysqli
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy a WAF with SQL injection protection rules to block malicious payloads before they reach the application.
Configure WAF rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in login requests
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system from the internet and restrict access to internal networks only
- Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database access attempts
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the login.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads in the username parameter (e.g., admin' OR '1'='1)Check Version:
Check the system version in admin panel or configuration filesVerify Fix Applied:
Test with the same payloads after implementing fixes - should return proper error messages or reject malicious input📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL error messages in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts with SQL-like patterns
- Database queries containing special characters like quotes, semicolons, or comments
Network Indicators:
- HTTP POST requests to login.php with SQL injection payloads in parameters
- Unusual database connection patterns from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/login.php" AND (payload="' OR" OR payload="--" OR payload=";")🔗 References
