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

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Code-Projects Simple Food Ordering System version 1.0. The issue arises in the addcategory.php file, where the cname 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, remote code execution.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a POST request to addcategory.php with a crafted cname parameter that includes SQL injection payloads. The injection can be verified by using time-based blind SQL injection techniques, such as adding a sleep command in the payload and observing the response delay.

Remediation

It is recommended to use prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection, validate and filter user input, minimize database user permissions, and conduct regular security audits.
