📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise including data exfiltration, data destruction, or remote code execution if database permissions allow.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized data access, modification of food ordering data, or potential privilege escalation.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation, parameterized queries, and database permissions.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Attack can be launched remotely and exploit is publicly available.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers could exploit, but external threat is higher.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

SQL injection via Category parameter requires minimal technical skill to exploit.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://code-projects.org/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Implement parameterized queries in product.php to sanitize Category input.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Filter

all

Add input validation to sanitize Category parameter before SQL query

Edit product.php to add: $category = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_GET['Category']);

Web Application Firewall

all

Deploy WAF with SQL injection rules to block malicious requests

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the system from internet access and restrict to internal network only
  • Implement strict network segmentation and monitor all database queries

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test product.php with SQL injection payloads like: product.php?Category=1' OR '1'='1

Check Version:

Check software version in admin panel or readme files

Verify Fix Applied:

Test with same payloads after implementing parameterized queries - should return error or no data

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL errors in application logs
  • Multiple requests to product.php with special characters

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, OR in Category parameter

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="*product.php*" AND (query="*UNION*" OR query="*SELECT*" OR query="*OR*" OR query="*'*" OR query="*--*" OR query="*;*")
