Projectworlds Online Ordering Food System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Projectworlds Online Ordering Food System version 1.0. The issue arises in the file '/all-orders.php', where the 'status' parameter is not properly validated before being included in SQL queries. This flaw allows remote attackers to manipulate the parameter and execute malicious SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, enabling attackers to interfere with database queries. This could result in unauthorized data access, data manipulation, or deletion of database information. Additionally, according to VulDB, the vulnerability could be exploited to upload malicious programs and disrupt server operations.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a GET request to '/all-orders.php' with a crafted 'status' parameter that includes SQL injection payloads. The injection can be verified by observing the application's response, which may indicate successful exploitation, such as unauthorized data access or application behavior changes.

Remediation

It is recommended to use prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection. Input validation and filtering should be implemented to ensure user input conforms to expected formats. Additionally, minimize database user permissions to the least necessary for application functionality.
