CVE-2025-4936
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2025-4936 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in projectworlds Online Food Ordering System 1.0 that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the 1_price parameter in /admin-page.php. This affects all deployments of version 1.0, potentially compromising the entire database and application. Attackers can exploit this without authentication to steal, modify, or delete sensitive data.

📦 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 if database functions allow it.
Likely Case
Data exfiltration of sensitive information including customer data, admin credentials, and payment information, followed by system takeover.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper input validation and WAF rules block malicious SQL payloads, though risk remains until patched.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub, making this easily exploitable by attackers with basic SQL injection knowledge.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: None available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider upgrading to a newer version if available, or implement workarounds and input validation.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation and Sanitization
allAdd parameterized queries or prepared statements to /admin-page.php to sanitize the 1_price parameter
Modify PHP code to use prepared statements: $stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM table WHERE price = ?'); $stmt->bind_param('s', $price);
WAF Rule Implementation
allDeploy web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting /admin-page.php
Add WAF rule: SecRule ARGS:1_price "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403"
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate the vulnerable system behind a reverse proxy with strict input filtering
- Implement network segmentation to limit database access from the web application server
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test the /admin-page.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads like ' OR '1'='1 in the 1_price parameter and observe database errors or unexpected behaviorCheck Version:
Check the software version in the admin panel or review the source code for version indicatorsVerify Fix Applied:
After implementing fixes, retest with SQL injection payloads to confirm they are properly blocked or sanitized📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- SQL syntax errors in web server logs
- Unusual database queries from web application
- Multiple failed login attempts following SQL errors
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests to /admin-page.php with SQL keywords in parameters
- Unusual outbound database connections from web server
SIEM Query:
source="web_logs" AND uri="/admin-page.php" AND (param="1_price" AND value MATCHES "(?i)(union|select|insert|update|delete|drop|or|and|'|--|#)")
