Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions-remote unauthenticated exploitation against any instance of Computer Book Store 1.0 with the /admin_delete.php endpoint exposed. The CVSS vector (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms no authentication or user interaction is required. There are no known limiting factors such as configuration dependencies or platform restrictions.

Impact

CVSS 4.0 base score 5.5 (medium) with AV:N/PR:N/UI:N indicates easy remote unauthenticated exploitation. However, the EPSS probability is only 0.05% (15th percentile), signaling low exploitation likelihood in the wild. While public exploit code is available, there is no inclusion in CISA KEV or vendor confirmation of active attacks. The product is niche, reducing the attack surface. Thus, the vulnerability presents moderate risk-prioritize patching if deployed, but urgency is low.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to /admin_delete.php with a malicious 'bookisbn' value (e.g., '1 UNION SELECT ...'). This triggers SQL injection, allowing the attacker to extract sensitive data from the database or delete records. A public proof-of-concept is available (GitHub issue #2), lowering the barrier for exploitation.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 27, 2026

SQL injection in Computer Book Store 1.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the database via the /admin_delete.php script. A publicly available exploit exists (GitHub issue), but the low EPSS score (0.05%) suggests limited real-world targeting. No active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. The application is a PHP project; therefore, implement input validation and parameterized queries (e.g., using prepared statements) for the 'bookisbn' parameter in /admin_delete.php. As a workaround, restrict access to /admin_delete.php via web server configuration (e.g., .htaccess IP whitelist) or remove the script if not essential. Note that disabling the script may break administrative functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-74 describes the failure to neutralize special elements in SQL commands. In this PHP-based application, the 'bookisbn' parameter passed to /admin_delete.php is directly concatenated into a SQL query without sanitization. CPE data confirms the exact affected package is carmelo:computer_book_store:1.0, a small project hosted on code-projects.org.
