Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default deployments of Simple Stock System 1.0. The /market/update.php endpoint must be reachable over the network, which is typical for a web application. No user interaction or prior authentication is required.

Impact

The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) yields a Medium severity score of 5.5, reflecting low-impact data disclosure and manipulation. However, EPSS is only 0.05% (15th percentile), indicating low likelihood of widespread exploitation. No KEV listing confirms absence of known in-the-wild attacks, though publicly available exploit code lowers the barrier for opportunistic use. The product's niche nature further reduces real-world urgency. Contrasting signals suggest this is a low-priority issue for most organizations unless the specific software is in use.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker sends a crafted HTTP POST request to the /market/update.php endpoint with a malicious email value containing SQL injection payloads. This could extract sensitive information from the database (e.g., user credentials) or alter stock records. The publicly available proof-of-concept simplifies exploitation for unauthenticated remote attackers.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 26, 2026

Remote SQL injection in Simple Stock System 1.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate SQL queries via the email parameter in /market/update.php. Public exploit code exists, but no active exploitation has been confirmed. The vulnerability affects the code-projects.org stock management application, potentially exposing database contents.

RemediationAI

No vendor patch is available at the time of analysis. As an immediate workaround, apply input validation or implement parameterized queries in /market/update.php to sanitize the email parameter. If source modification is not feasible, consider restricting network access to the /market/ directory via a firewall or web server rule, or temporarily disabling the update functionality. Monitor the project's repository for future updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is a SQL injection (CWE-74) located in the PHP file /market/update.php of the Simple Stock System web application. The application constructs a SQL query by directly incorporating unsanitized user input from the email parameter, typical of classic dynamic query vulnerabilities. The affected product (cpe:2.3:a:carmelo:simple_stock_system:1.0) is a lightweight inventory system written in PHP, likely relying on a MySQL/MariaDB backend.
