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?
The CVE-2026-5583 vulnerability is an SQL injection flaw found in the PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal Project version 2.1, specifically in the /my-profile.php file. It occurs because the "fullname" parameter is not properly sanitized or validated before being used in SQL queries. This allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code remotely, potentially accessing or manipulating the database without authorization.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have serious impacts including unauthorized database access, data leakage, and data manipulation. Attackers can exploit it to compromise the system fully or disrupt services. The flaw allows remote attackers to execute SQL commands that can alter or retrieve sensitive information, potentially leading to loss of data integrity and business continuity issues.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
The CVE-2026-5583 vulnerability can be detected by testing the "fullname" parameter in the /my-profile.php file for SQL injection flaws. One effective method is to use the sqlmap tool to automate the detection of SQL injection vulnerabilities.
A typical command to test this vulnerability using sqlmap would involve submitting crafted input via the "fullname" parameter along with other form data such as emailid and contactnumber to see if the backend SQL queries can be manipulated.
- Use sqlmap with POST data targeting the fullname parameter, for example: sqlmap -u "http://target/my-profile.php" --data="fullname=TEST&[email protected]&contactnumber=1234567890" --risk=3 --level=5
This approach helps identify time-based blind SQL injection vulnerabilities by observing the response delays or errors triggered by the injected payloads.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
To mitigate the CVE-2026-5583 vulnerability, immediate steps include:
- Implement prepared statements with parameter binding to separate SQL code from user inputs, preventing SQL injection.
- Apply strict input validation and filtering on the "fullname" parameter to ensure it conforms to expected formats and blocks malicious data.
- Limit database user permissions to the minimum necessary, avoiding the use of high-privilege accounts such as root or admin for routine database operations.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The SQL injection vulnerability in the PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal Project 2.1 allows unauthorized database access, data leakage, and data manipulation. Such security weaknesses can lead to breaches of sensitive personal data, which may violate data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA that require safeguarding personal and health information.
Failure to remediate this vulnerability by implementing recommended security measures (such as prepared statements, input validation, and least privilege database access) could result in non-compliance with these standards, potentially leading to legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of customer trust.
