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?
This vulnerability exists in the SourceCodester Pizzafy Ecommerce System 1.0, specifically in the save_menu function within the /admin/ajax.php?action=save_menu file. It allows an attacker to perform SQL injection by manipulating the input to this function. The attack can be carried out remotely, and an exploit for this vulnerability is publicly available.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute unauthorized SQL commands on the backend database of the affected system. This can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or data deletion. Since the attack can be initiated remotely, it increases the risk of compromise without physical access to the system.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The SQL injection vulnerability in Pizzafy Ecommerce System 1.0 allows attackers to access, manipulate, or delete sensitive data such as database versions, table structures, usernames, and password hashes. This unauthorized access and potential data breach can lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding personal and sensitive information against unauthorized access and ensuring data integrity.
Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in exposure of personal data or credentials, violating confidentiality and security requirements mandated by these standards, potentially leading to legal and financial consequences for affected organizations.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by testing the `admin/ajax.php?action=save_menu` endpoint for SQL injection flaws, specifically by manipulating the `name` parameter with SQL payloads that trigger database errors or reveal database information.
A common detection method is to send crafted requests containing SQL injection payloads such as `extractvalue(1, concat(0x7e, version()))` to observe if the database version or error messages are exposed.
For example, you can use curl or similar tools to send a POST request with a malicious `name` parameter to the vulnerable endpoint and check the response for SQL error messages or leaked data.
- curl -X POST -d "name=extractvalue(1, concat(0x7e, version()))" "http://target/admin/ajax.php?action=save_menu"
- Observe the response for database error messages or version information indicating SQL injection vulnerability.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include applying input validation and sanitization on the `name` parameter to prevent SQL injection.
The fixed version of the vulnerable code uses prepared statements with parameterized queries, which should be implemented to prevent direct interpolation of user input into SQL queries.
Additionally, restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint to authorized users only, and monitor logs for suspicious activity.
If a patch or updated version of the Pizzafy Ecommerce System is available, apply it immediately to remediate the vulnerability.
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2026-7408 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability found in the Pizzafy Ecommerce System 1.0. It exists in the save_menu function of the admin/ajax.php endpoint, specifically due to improper sanitization of the 'name' parameter during database INSERT and UPDATE operations.
Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious SQL statements, which can cause database errors that reveal sensitive information such as database versions, table structures, usernames, and password hashes.
The root cause is that user input is directly included in SQL queries without proper validation or sanitization, allowing attackers to manipulate the database queries. The vulnerability is tracked under CWE-89, which relates to improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can have several serious impacts:
- Unauthorized access to sensitive data such as database versions, table structures, usernames, and password hashes.
- Manipulation or deletion of data within the database, potentially disrupting the ecommerce system's operations.
- Potential privilege escalation by retrieving session-related data, which could allow attackers to gain higher access rights.
- Remote exploitation without user interaction, making it easier for attackers to launch attacks.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by testing the `admin/ajax.php?action=save_menu` endpoint for SQL injection flaws, specifically by manipulating the `name` parameter with SQL payloads that trigger database errors or reveal sensitive information.
A common detection method is to send crafted requests containing SQL injection payloads such as `extractvalue(1, concat(0x7e, version()))` to observe if the database version or error messages are exposed.
Example command using curl to test the vulnerability:
- curl -X POST 'http://target-site/admin/ajax.php?action=save_menu' -d "name=1' and extractvalue(1, concat(0x7e, version()))-- -"
If the response contains database error messages or version information, it indicates the presence of the SQL injection vulnerability.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include applying input validation and sanitization to the `name` parameter in the vulnerable `save_menu` function.
The recommended fix is to use prepared statements with parameterized queries instead of directly interpolating user input into SQL commands.
Additionally, restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint to authorized users only and monitor logs for suspicious activity.
If a patch or updated version of the Pizzafy Ecommerce System is available, apply it promptly to address the vulnerability.
