Code-Projects Restaurant Order System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in version 1.0 of the Code-Projects Restaurant Order System. The issue arises in the '/tablelow.php' file, where the 'id' parameter is manipulated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without any authentication, leading to unauthorized database access, data manipulation, and potential service disruption.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for unauthorized access to the database, manipulation or deletion of data, leakage of sensitive information, and disruption of services, posing a significant threat to system security and business operations.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to 'tablelow.php' with a crafted 'id' parameter that includes malicious SQL code. This can be done 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, validate and filter user input, minimize database user permissions, and conduct regular security audits.
