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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in the Simple Online Food Ordering System 1.0. It exists in the file /admin/ajax.php when handling the 'ID' parameter during category saving operations. Attackers can inject malicious SQL queries due to insufficient input validation, potentially allowing unauthorized database access or manipulation.

Detection Guidance

To detect this SQL injection vulnerability in the Simple Online Food Ordering System, inspect the /admin/ajax.php file for improper input handling of the 'id' parameter. Check web server logs for unusual requests targeting /fos/admin/ajax.php?action=save_category with suspicious SQL patterns like quotes or SQL keywords. Use tools like SQLmap to test for blind SQL injection by sending crafted payloads to the parameter.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow attackers to steal, modify, or delete sensitive data from the database. They might access customer information, order details, or administrative credentials. The system could also be compromised to perform unauthorized actions or be used as a pivot point for further attacks.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability likely violates GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and security. It could lead to unauthorized access to personal data, triggering mandatory breach notifications and potential fines under these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the application to validate and sanitize all user inputs, especially the 'id' parameter in /admin/ajax.php. Replace direct SQL queries with prepared statements to prevent injection. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum required. Conduct a security audit to identify other potential vulnerabilities and apply patches as needed.
