| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2026-8231 is a SQL injection vulnerability found in the CodeAstro Online Catering Ordering System version 1.0. It specifically affects the handling of the 'id' parameter in the file /deleteorder.php (noted also as /catering-orderphp/index.php in a resource). Due to insufficient input validation, an attacker can manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL queries into the system.
This vulnerability allows attackers to execute unauthorized database commands remotely, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data leakage, data tampering, or deletion.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
Exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability can have serious impacts including unauthorized access to sensitive data, leakage of confidential information, modification or deletion of data, and potentially full system compromise.
- Unauthorized database access
- Data leakage
- Data tampering or deletion
- Full system compromise
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'id' parameter in the /deleteorder.php file for SQL injection flaws. A common method is to use time-based blind SQL injection payloads to observe delays in response times, indicating successful injection.
- Use tools like sqlmap to automate detection, for example: sqlmap -u "http://target/deleteorder.php?id=1" --technique=T --dbs
- Manually test with payloads such as: http://target/deleteorder.php?id=1' OR SLEEP(5)-- to check if the response is delayed.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include implementing prepared statements with parameter binding to prevent SQL injection, applying strict input validation on the 'id' parameter, and minimizing database user permissions to limit potential damage.
- Use prepared statements and parameterized queries in the code handling the 'id' parameter.
- Validate and sanitize all user inputs rigorously before processing.
- Limit database user privileges to only what is necessary.
- Conduct regular security audits to identify and fix vulnerabilities.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The CVE-2026-8231 vulnerability allows SQL injection attacks that can lead to unauthorized database access, data leakage, tampering, or deletion, and potentially full system compromise.
Such unauthorized access and data breaches can negatively impact compliance with common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require protection of personal and sensitive data against unauthorized access and breaches.
Therefore, exploitation of this vulnerability could result in violations of these regulations due to compromised data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
