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.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-78248 is a SQL injection vulnerability in Simple Online Food Ordering System 1.0. It exists in the file /fos/admin/ajax.php?action=save_settings due to improper input validation of the 'Name' parameter. Attackers can inject malicious SQL queries remotely without authentication.

Detection Guidance

To detect this SQL injection vulnerability, inspect network traffic for requests to /fos/admin/ajax.php?action=save_settings with unusual parameters. Use tools like SQLmap to test for SQLi by sending payloads such as ' OR 1=1 -- or ' OR '1'='1. Check server logs for suspicious queries or errors. Example SQLmap command: sqlmap -u "http://target.com/fos/admin/ajax.php?action=save_settings" --data="name=test" --batch.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows attackers to access unauthorized data, tamper with database contents, leak sensitive information, compromise the system, and disrupt services. Exploitation can occur without login or authorization.

Compliance Impact

This SQL injection vulnerability could lead to unauthorized database access and sensitive information leakage, which may violate GDPR's data protection requirements for personal data security and HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information if such data is stored in the system.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately apply input validation to sanitize the 'name' parameter in /fos/admin/ajax.php. Replace direct SQL queries with prepared statements and parameter binding. Restrict database user permissions to least privilege. Update the system to the latest patched version if available. Conduct a security audit to identify other potential vulnerabilities.
