SourceCodester Point of Sales CVE-2025-12294

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. Mitigation requires: (1) Upgrade to a patched version if available from SourceCodester/janobe - contact the vendor directly at www.sourcecodester.com for security advisories; (2) If upgrade is unavailable, implement input validation and parameterized queries in /delete_category.php to sanitize the ID parameter before use in SQL statements; (3) Restrict network access to the POS application via firewall rules, allowing only trusted internal networks; (4) Enforce strong, unique passwords for administrative accounts and implement multi-factor authentication to reduce the risk of credential compromise; (5) Monitor database query logs for anomalous SQL syntax in the delete_category endpoint. Given the requirement for high-privilege access, the primary mitigation strategy is administrative credential protection rather than network-level controls, though network segmentation provides defense-in-depth.
