🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion of food management records and user data.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions restricting damage scope.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and a public exploit exists.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers could exploit this if they have network access to the system.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Public exploit code is available on GitHub, making exploitation straightforward for attackers.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

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

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider implementing input validation and parameterized queries as workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Implement Input Validation

all

Add server-side validation for all parameters (a, b, c, d) in /home/editfood.php to reject SQL injection attempts.

Use Parameterized Queries

all

Rewrite the vulnerable SQL queries to use prepared statements with parameter binding.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting /home/editfood.php
  • Restrict network access to the system to only trusted IP addresses and implement network segmentation

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if /home/editfood.php exists and accepts parameters a, b, c, d without proper input validation. Test with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1.

Check Version:

Check the system documentation or configuration files for version information. No standard command available.

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that SQL injection attempts against /home/editfood.php are properly rejected and no longer execute.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL queries in database logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts or parameter manipulation in web server logs for /home/editfood.php

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to /home/editfood.php with SQL keywords in parameters (SELECT, UNION, etc.)

SIEM Query:

source="web_server" AND uri="/home/editfood.php" AND (param="*SELECT*" OR param="*UNION*" OR param="*OR*1=1*")
