Executive Summary

[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "CVE-2025-15582 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (IDOR) in detronetdip E-commerce 1.0.0, specifically in the Product Management Module's Delete and Update functions. The flaw occurs because the application uses the product's ID parameter from HTTP POST requests to identify records for modification or deletion but fails to verify if the product belongs to the authenticated seller."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Although the backend retrieves the session user ID, it does not include this ownership information in the SQL queries, allowing an attacker with valid credentials to manipulate or delete any product by specifying its ID, regardless of ownership.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "This vulnerability enables horizontal privilege escalation, meaning an attacker can access or modify other users' products without authorization."}] [1, 2, 3]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have several serious impacts:

• Financial fraud by allowing attackers to drastically lower product prices to purchase items at minimal cost.
• Marketplace defacement through unauthorized changes to product names, descriptions, and other content.
• Denial of Service by enabling attackers to delete products en masse using automated scripts that iterate over product IDs.

Detection Guidance

[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "This vulnerability can be detected by attempting to exploit the insecure direct object reference (IDOR) in the product management module's Delete or Update functions. Specifically, an authenticated user can send crafted HTTP POST requests with manipulated product IDs to verify if unauthorized modifications are possible."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'A practical detection method is to use curl commands to send POST requests targeting the vulnerable endpoints and observe if changes to products not owned by the authenticated user are accepted.'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'Example curl command to test unauthorized product update: \n```bash\ncurl -X POST \\\n -H "Cookie: PHPSESSID=<valid_session_id>" \\\n -d "id=<target_product_id>" \\\n -d "name=Test_Hacked_Name" \\\n -d "price=1" \\\n -d "sellprice=1" \\\n -d "quantity=1" \\\n -d "category=1" \\\n -d "subcat=1" \\\n -d "description=Test_Description" \\\n "http://<target_host>/seller/assets/backend/product/updateproduct.php"\n```'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'If the server responds with a JSON confirming the update (e.g., {"code":1,"id":"<target_product_id>"}), it indicates the vulnerability is present.'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'Similarly, testing the delete function by sending POST requests to the delete endpoint with manipulated IDs can confirm unauthorized deletion capability.'}] [1, 2]

Mitigation Strategies

[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Immediate mitigation involves enforcing strict ownership verification in the backend SQL queries for product update and delete operations.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "Specifically, modify the SQL WHERE clause to include a check that the product belongs to the authenticated seller by adding a condition on the seller's session ID."}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': "Change vulnerable queries from:\n```sql\nUPDATE product SET ... WHERE id = '$id'\n```\nto:\n```sql\nUPDATE product SET ... WHERE id = '$id' AND seller_id = '$_SESSION[SELLER_ID]'\n```"}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'Similarly, apply the same ownership check to DELETE queries to prevent unauthorized deletions.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'If immediate code changes are not possible, consider restricting access to the vulnerable endpoints, monitoring for suspicious activity, and applying network-level controls to limit exploitation.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Ultimately, replacing or patching the affected product with a secure version that properly enforces authorization is recommended.'}] [1, 2, 3]
