Projectworlds Online Food Ordering System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in version 1.0 of the Projectworlds Online Food Ordering System, specifically within the '/view-ticket.php' file. This vulnerability arises from inadequate validation of user input in the 'id' parameter, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. Exploitation of this flaw could lead to unauthorized access to the database, manipulation or deletion of data, and exposure of sensitive information. Notably, this vulnerability can be exploited remotely without any authentication.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, enabling attackers to manipulate database queries. This could result in unauthorized database access, leakage of sensitive data, unauthorized data modification or deletion, and potential disruption of service.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a crafted request to 'view-ticket.php' with a manipulated 'id' parameter. This can be done using a variety of SQL injection techniques, such as boolean-based blind injection, time-based blind injection, or union-based injection, as demonstrated with the sqlmap tool.

Remediation

To address this vulnerability, 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 enhance overall security.
