Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a flaw in the itsourcecode Online Cake Ordering System 1.0, specifically in the /cakeshop/product.php file. It allows an attacker to manipulate the 'Product' argument to perform SQL injection, which means they can execute unauthorized SQL commands on the database remotely.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow remote attackers to execute SQL injection attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized access, modification, or deletion of data within the system's database. This can compromise the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of the data and the application.

Useful 0 Not Useful 0

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthorized access to sensitive data through SQL injection, which can lead to data leakage, modification, or deletion. Such unauthorized access and potential compromise of data confidentiality and integrity can result in non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which mandate strict controls over personal and sensitive information. Therefore, this vulnerability poses a risk to compliance with these common standards and regulations. [1, 2, 3]

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'product' parameter in POST requests to /cakeshop/product.php or /cakeshop/insertproduct.php for SQL injection. A common method is to use tools like sqlmap to automate detection. For example, using sqlmap targeting the POST request with the 'product' parameter can confirm the injection point. A proof-of-concept payload causing a time delay is: product=123' AND (SELECT 8572 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))XqBh) AND 'IZqn'='IZqn. Additionally, Google dorking with queries like 'inurl:cakeshop/product.php' can help identify vulnerable targets. [2, 3]

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include: 1) Use prepared statements with parameter binding to separate SQL code from user input, preventing injection. 2) Implement strict input validation and filtering to ensure inputs conform to expected formats. 3) Minimize database user permissions by avoiding high-privilege accounts for application database connections. 4) Conduct regular security audits to detect and fix vulnerabilities promptly. If possible, consider replacing the affected product with an alternative solution. [2, 3]

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'product' parameter in the /cakeshop/product.php file for SQL injection. A proof-of-concept payload uses a time-based blind SQL injection, such as: product=123' AND (SELECT 8572 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))XqBh) AND 'IZqn'='IZqn. You can use tools like sqlmap to automate detection by targeting POST requests to /cakeshop/insertproduct.php with the 'product' parameter. Additionally, vulnerable targets can be identified using Google dorking with queries like: inurl:cakeshop/product.php. [2, 3]
