MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a reachable instance of the Food Waste Management System exposing the Food Donation Form (fooddonateform.php); the attacker manipulates the 'image-choice' argument passed to the insert routine. Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N), no authentication or user interaction is needed, so any publicly exposed donation form is directly exploitable. The primary limiting factor is deployment: this is a niche hobby project with negligible production exposure, and exploitation presupposes an operator has actually stood up and internet-exposed the application; there is no non-default configuration or special platform requirement beyond a working database-backed deployment. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and point to a LOW real-world priority despite a medium CVSS. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes a remotely reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity SQL injection, which normally warrants attention - but all three impact metrics are only Low (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), yielding a modest 6.9. The exploit maturity is E:P (proof-of-concept), consistent with the reported public POC, and there is NO CISA KEV listing, so this is 'publicly available exploit code exists' rather than confirmed active exploitation. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified here. The decisive mitigating factor is the target: kishor-23/food-waste-management-system is a small open-source GitHub project with no measurable enterprise footprint, so the attack surface across real production environments is minimal. The vendor has not responded to the issue report, so no patched release is confirmed. Net: a genuine, easily-exploitable SQLi, but low real-world risk driven almost entirely by near-zero deployment prevalence rather than by weak technical exploitability. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker locates an internet-exposed instance of the Food Waste Management System and submits the Food Donation Form, tampering with the 'image-choice' parameter to inject SQL into the insert routine of fooddonateform.php. A public proof-of-concept exists (referenced in the project's GitHub issue tracker), lowering the skill needed; because no authentication or user interaction is required, the request can be sent directly to the form endpoint to read or manipulate database contents. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 04, 2026
SQL injection in the Food Donation Form (fooddonateform.php) of kishor-23's Food Waste Management System allows remote attackers to manipulate the 'image-choice' argument passed to the insert routine, potentially reading or altering data in the backend database. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N, E:P) confirms this is remotely reachable with no authentication or user interaction required, and publicly available exploit code exists, so the technical barrier to exploitation is low. However, the product is a niche hobby project distributed via a rolling-release repository with no version pinning and no vendor response to the issue report, meaning real-world exposure depends entirely on whether an operator has deployed and internet-exposed the application - assessed as a LOW priority despite the medium severity score.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis: the maintainer has not responded to the issue report at https://github.com/kishor-23/food-waste-management-system/issues/6 and the rolling-release model means no fixed version number can be cited. Because the flaw is a raw SQL injection in the 'image-choice' argument of fooddonateform.php, the most effective compensating control is to stop exposing the donation form to untrusted networks - place the application behind authentication or restrict it to a trusted network/VPN; the trade-off is that this removes public access to the donation workflow. If the application must remain reachable, place it behind a WAF or reverse proxy with SQL-injection rules and validate/whitelist the 'image-choice' value, accepting that signature-based filtering can be bypassed and requires tuning. Operationally, run the application's database account with the least privilege possible (no DDL, no FILE, no stacked queries) to cap impact if injection succeeds, and monitor database and web logs for anomalous queries against the donation form. If patching the code directly, replace the string-concatenated query in the insert function with parameterized statements before any deployment. Consult https://vuldb.com/vuln/413398 for updates in case the maintainer publishes a fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a PHP web application implementing a food waste management/donation workflow. The vulnerable code path is the insert function in fooddonateform.php, which handles the 'image-choice' parameter submitted through the Food Donation Form. Because the parameter is interpolated into a SQL statement without proper parameterization or escaping, it falls under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command). The CPE cpe:2.3:a:kishor-23:food-waste-management-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the product is the kishor-23 project with no version qualifiers, consistent with the project's rolling-release model; the referenced commits (411989e3ecb82895e53dca7865f72145f03d7d93 / b3a70b2c492dc9904de5be1ad9389bd79b87f82c) identify the specific repository states examined. The application is database-backed PHP, so a successful injection could allow enumeration or modification of tables reachable by the application's database user, limited by whatever privileges that account holds.

A vulnerability was found in kishor-23 food-waste-management-system 411989e3ecb82895e53dca7865f72145f03d7d93/b3a70b2c492dc9904de5be1ad9389bd79b87f82c. The affected element is the function insert of the file fooddonateform.php of the component Food Donation Form. Performing a manipulation of the argument image-choice results in sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This product adopts a rolling release strategy to maintain continuous delivery. Therefore, version details for affected or updated releases cannot be specified. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
