itsourcecode Online Cake Ordering System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Online Cake Ordering System version 1.0. The issue arises in the file updatecustomer.php, specifically when the action parameter is set to edit. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to manipulate the ID parameter, injecting malicious SQL queries that could be executed by the application's database. This exploitation does not require any authentication.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data modification or deletion, and exposure of sensitive information.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a POST request to the updatecustomer.php file with the action parameter set to edit. Include a crafted ID parameter that injects malicious SQL payloads. 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.
