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 /fos/admin/ajax.php?action=save_user due to improper input validation of the Username parameter. Attackers can inject malicious SQL queries without authentication, potentially accessing or manipulating sensitive data.

Detection Guidance

To detect SQL injection vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-78197, monitor network traffic for suspicious requests targeting /fos/admin/ajax.php with unusual parameters. Use tools like SQLmap to test for injection flaws by sending crafted input to the username parameter. Check web server logs for repeated failed login attempts or unexpected queries.
