Code-Projects Simple Food Order System SQL Injection Vulnerability in all-tickets.php

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Code-Projects Simple Food Order System version 1.0. The issue resides in the all-tickets.php file, specifically within the Parameter Handler component. The vulnerability arises from inadequate validation of the 'status' parameter, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This exploitation can be performed remotely, without any authentication.

Impact

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

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a crafted GET request to the all-tickets.php file with a payload that exploits the SQL injection flaw in the status parameter. 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.
