Simple Food Ordering System CVE-2025-11613

Upgrade to a patched version if available from code-projects.org or the project repository. The primary remediation is to implement parameterized queries (prepared statements) in /addcategory.php for the cname parameter: replace all string concatenation of user input into SQL with prepared statement placeholders (? in PHP mysqli or named parameters in PDO). Additionally, validate the cname input against a whitelist of allowed characters and enforce maximum length restrictions before any database operation. If immediate patching is not feasible, apply temporary mitigations: restrict access to /addcategory.php to trusted administrator IP ranges via web application firewall or network access control, or implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block common SQL injection payloads in the cname parameter (though this is defense-in-depth only, not a complete fix). These mitigations trade operational convenience for reduced risk and should be replaced with code-level fixes within 30 days.
