CVE-2025-3345

7.3 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2025-3345 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 'del' parameter in /admin/combo.php. This affects all systems running the vulnerable software version. Attackers can potentially access, modify, or delete database content without authentication.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • codeprojects Online Restaurant Management System
Versions: 1.0
Operating Systems: All platforms running PHP
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires the /admin/combo.php file to be accessible, which is typically part of the admin interface.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data destruction, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution via database functions.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized data access and modification, including extraction of sensitive information like user credentials, payment data, and business records.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only allowing data viewing without modification.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and affects internet-facing admin interfaces.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal systems are still vulnerable but have reduced attack surface compared to internet-facing deployments.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub, making this easily weaponizable by attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None found

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

all

Add parameter validation and sanitization to the del parameter in /admin/combo.php

Edit /admin/combo.php to add: $del = mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $_GET['del']);

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

all

Deploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting the del parameter

ModSecurity rule: SecRule ARGS:del "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403"

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Block external access to /admin/combo.php using firewall rules or web server configuration
  • Implement strict database user permissions with read-only access where possible

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test if /admin/combo.php?del=1' exists and returns database errors when adding SQL injection payloads

Check Version:

Check software version in admin panel or readme files

Verify Fix Applied:

Test that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return proper error handling

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL errors in application logs
  • Multiple requests to /admin/combo.php with suspicious del parameter values
  • Database queries with unexpected UNION or SELECT statements

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests containing SQL keywords in del parameter
  • Unusual traffic patterns to admin interface

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/admin/combo.php" AND (query_string="*del=*'*" OR query_string="*del=*%27*")
