CVE-2025-3337
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-3337 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in codeprojects Online Restaurant Management System 1.0 that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the ID parameter in /admin/member_update.php. This affects all deployments of version 1.0, potentially compromising the entire database. Attackers can steal, modify, or delete sensitive restaurant data including customer information, orders, and administrative credentials.

📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data destruction, administrative account takeover, and potential server compromise via SQL injection to RCE techniques.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive customer and restaurant data, modification of orders and pricing, extraction of administrative credentials, and potential privilege escalation.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only allowing data viewing without modification capabilities.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub. Attack requires access to the admin interface but no authentication bypass is mentioned. SQL injection is straightforward to exploit with common tools like sqlmap.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative restaurant management systems or implementing custom fixes with proper input validation and parameterized queries.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allAdd input validation to sanitize the ID parameter in member_update.php
Modify /admin/member_update.php to validate ID parameter as integer: if(!is_numeric($_GET['ID']) || $_GET['ID'] <= 0) { die('Invalid ID'); }
Web Application Firewall Rule
allBlock SQL injection patterns targeting the member_update.php endpoint
Add WAF rule: deny requests to /admin/member_update.php containing SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, OR, AND in URL parameters
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the system behind a firewall with strict access controls, allowing only trusted IP addresses to access the admin interface.
- Implement database-level protections: use least privilege database accounts, enable query logging, and implement database activity monitoring.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin/member_update.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads like: /admin/member_update.php?ID=1' OR '1'='1Check Version:
Check application files for version information or review the system's about/help pages. Look for version 1.0 in source code or configuration files.Verify Fix Applied:
Attempt SQL injection tests after applying fixes; successful fixes should return error messages or reject malicious input without executing SQL.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual SQL errors in application logs
- Multiple failed login attempts followed by member_update.php access
- Unusual database queries from web application user
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /admin/member_update.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual outbound database connections from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/admin/member_update.php" AND (query_string="*UNION*" OR query_string="*SELECT*" OR query_string="*OR 1=1*")
