itsourcecode Online Cake Ordering System SQL Injection Vulnerability in Update Product File

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the itsourcecode Online Cake Ordering System version 1.0. The issue arises in the updateproduct.php file, specifically when the action parameter is set to edit and the id parameter is manipulated. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data modification or deletion, and exposure of sensitive information. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without any authentication.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, where attackers can interfere with the application's database queries. This could lead to unauthorized data access, data manipulation, and in some cases, executing administrative operations on the database.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a POST request to the updateproduct.php file with the action parameter set to edit. Include a crafted id parameter that injects malicious SQL code. The request can be made 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.
