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

CVE-2026-76998 is a SQL injection vulnerability in Simple Online Food Ordering System 1.0. It exists in the file /admin/ajax.php when handling the action=delete_category parameter. The 'id' argument is not properly validated before being used in SQL queries, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code remotely without authentication.

Detection Guidance

To detect SQL injection vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-76998, you can use tools such as SQLmap to test the /admin/ajax.php endpoint with the id parameter. Example command: sqlmap -u "http://target-site.com/fos/admin/ajax.php?action=delete_category&id=1" --batch. Monitor for unusual database queries or errors in logs.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. Potential impacts include unauthorized database access, data theft, data tampering, deletion of records, or even full system compromise. Attackers could manipulate or delete sensitive information like user credentials or order data.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by enabling unauthorized access to personal and sensitive data. GDPR requires protection of personal data while HIPAA mandates safeguards for protected health information. A successful exploit could result in data breaches violating these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the application to a patched version if available. If not, implement prepared statements with parameter binding for all database queries. Restrict database user permissions to least privilege. Validate and sanitize all user inputs, especially the id parameter. Conduct a security audit to identify other potential vulnerabilities.
