Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-74 | The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. |
| CWE-89 | The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2025-9701 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in SourceCodester Simple Cafe Billing System version 1.0, specifically in the /receipt.php file. The vulnerability occurs because the 'id' parameter is not properly sanitized or validated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This enables unauthorized access to the database, allowing attackers to retrieve, modify, or delete sensitive data remotely without authentication. [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized database access, data leakage, data tampering, and potential system compromise. Attackers can extract sensitive information, modify or delete data, disrupt services, and potentially gain full control over the affected system. Since exploitation requires no authentication and can be done remotely, it poses a significant risk to system security and business continuity. [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'id' parameter in the /receipt.php URL for SQL injection flaws. A common approach is to use automated tools like sqlmap to target the URL, for example: sqlmap -u "http://<target>/receipt.php?id=1" --batch. Additionally, attackers may be identified by monitoring for suspicious requests containing SQL injection payloads or by using Google dorking queries such as "inurl:receipt.php" to find vulnerable instances. [2, 3]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include: 1) Implementing prepared statements and parameter binding to ensure user inputs are treated as data, not executable SQL code; 2) Enforcing strict input validation and filtering on the 'id' parameter; 3) Minimizing database user permissions by avoiding high-privilege accounts for database connections; 4) Conducting regular security audits to detect and fix vulnerabilities. If possible, replacing the affected software with an alternative product is recommended as no known countermeasures currently exist. [2, 3]
