Code-Projects Simple Food Ordering System SQL Injection Vulnerability in addproduct.php

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Code-Projects Simple Food Ordering System version 1.0. The issue resides in the addproduct.php file, where the category parameter is manipulated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, and a public exploit is available.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data manipulation, and in some cases, executing commands on the server.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to addproduct.php with a crafted category parameter that includes SQL injection payloads. This can be done using tools like sqlmap, which automates the process of finding and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Remediation

It is recommended to use prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection. Additionally, input validation and filtering should be implemented to ensure user input conforms to expected formats. Minimizing database user permissions and conducting regular security audits can also help mitigate such vulnerabilities.
