itsourcecode Online Frozen Foods Ordering System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the itsourcecode Online Frozen Foods Ordering System version 1.0. The issue resides in the file '/frozenfoodssystem/customer_details.php', where insufficient input validation of the 'first_name' parameter allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without any authentication, leading to unauthorized database access, data manipulation, and potential leakage of sensitive information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, enabling attackers to interfere with the application's database queries. This could result in unauthorized data access, data modification or deletion, and in some cases, executing administrative operations on the database.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a GET request to '/frozenfoodssystem/customer_details.php' with a crafted 'first_name' parameter that includes SQL injection payloads. The injection takes advantage of the application's failure to properly sanitize user input, allowing malicious SQL commands to be executed by the database.

Remediation

It is recommended to use prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection vulnerabilities. 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.
