| 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-2026-7227 is a critical error-based SQL injection vulnerability in the Pizzafy Ecommerce System version 1.0, specifically affecting the login functionality at the endpoint /pizzafy/admin/ajax.php?action=login.
The vulnerability occurs because the username parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in an SQL query, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL commands.
Attackers exploit this by sending crafted inputs that cause the database to return error messages containing sensitive data, enabling them to extract database names, table names, column structures, usernames, and password hashes.
This can also allow attackers to delete or manipulate records and escalate privileges by hijacking sessions.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have severe impacts including:
- Confidentiality: Full exposure of database schema and user credentials.
- Integrity: Unauthorized deletion or modification of records.
- Availability: Potential denial of service through mass deletion of data.
- Privilege Escalation: Attackers can hijack sessions and gain administrative access.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by monitoring for unusual SQL query patterns or error messages related to the login endpoint `/pizzafy/admin/ajax.php?action=login` that indicate SQL injection attempts.
One way to detect exploitation attempts is to look for suspicious POST requests with payloads containing SQL injection patterns, such as UNION SELECT statements or single quotes in the `username` parameter.
Example commands to detect such attempts include using network traffic inspection tools like tcpdump or Wireshark to filter HTTP POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint, or using web server logs to search for suspicious input.
- Using grep on web server logs to find suspicious payloads: `grep "username=.*'" /var/log/apache2/access.log`
- Using tcpdump to capture HTTP POST requests to the vulnerable endpoint: `tcpdump -A -s 0 'tcp port 80 and (((ip[2:2] - ((ip[0]&0xf)<<2)) - ((tcp[12]&0xf0)>>2)) != 0)' | grep '/pizzafy/admin/ajax.php?action=login'`
- Using intrusion detection systems (IDS) with SQL injection detection rules to alert on suspicious activity targeting the login function.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include applying input validation and sanitization on the `username` parameter to prevent SQL injection.
The most effective fix is to modify the login function to use prepared statements with parameterized queries instead of directly embedding user input into SQL queries.
- Implement prepared statements with parameterized queries for all database interactions involving user input.
- Restrict database user privileges to limit the impact of any potential injection.
- Avoid exposing detailed database error messages to end users to prevent information leakage.
- Enable monitoring and logging to detect and respond to suspicious activities.
- Conduct regular security testing, including penetration tests and code reviews, to identify and fix vulnerabilities.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The SQL injection vulnerability in the Pizzafy Ecommerce System allows attackers to extract sensitive information such as database schema, user credentials, and potentially personal data. This exposure can lead to unauthorized access, data manipulation, and data breaches.
Such breaches can result in non-compliance with common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which mandate the protection of personal and sensitive data. Failure to secure user data against SQL injection attacks may lead to violations of confidentiality, integrity, and availability requirements stipulated by these regulations.
Therefore, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to compliance by potentially exposing personal data and failing to maintain adequate security controls.
