Food Review System CVE-2025-8165

Upgrade to a patched version of Food Review System if available from the vendor at https://code-projects.org/; however, no specific patched version number is publicly documented in available references. As an immediate compensating control, restrict access to /admin/approve_reservation.php to a whitelist of trusted administrative IP addresses or implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to block SQL injection patterns in the occasion parameter (e.g., detect single quotes, UNION keywords, or comment sequences). Audit all database queries in the approve_reservation.php file and replace vulnerable string concatenation with parameterized prepared statements using bound parameters in PHP PDO or mysqli. Review application logs for suspicious SQL patterns in the occasion field for evidence of attempted exploitation. Contact the vendor (carmelo) directly for security update guidance, as https://code-projects.org/ references may not yet reflect patched releases.
