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 resides in the file '/cakeshop/updatesupplier.php' 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 manipulate 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 '/cakeshop/updatesupplier.php' with the 'action' parameter set to 'edit' and the 'id' parameter crafted to inject SQL payloads. The injection can be verified by observing the application's response, which may indicate successful exploitation, such as returning database information or application data that should not be accessible.

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.
