Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions are required beyond network access to the /login.php login endpoint. The vulnerability resides in the default login form of the application, which is unauthenticated by design (PR:N per CVSS). The attack requires no privileged account, no prior foothold, and no user interaction. The only limiting factor is that the target must be running Online Shopping System version 1.0 specifically; no evidence suggests later versions exist or that this product is widely deployed in internet-facing production environments. Exploitation is constrained to attackers who can reach the web server hosting the application - there is no indication this affects cloud-hosted SaaS or managed instances.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.5 (Medium) reflects limited per-system impact (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) but zero barriers to exploitation: network-accessible, no authentication, no complexity, no user interaction required (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L). The E:P supplemental metric confirms a public exploit exists, which elevates real-world risk above the numeric score suggests. No EPSS data was provided in the intelligence feed, and no KEV listing exists, indicating no confirmed active mass exploitation at time of analysis. The primary real-world risk signal is the published POC on GitHub, which lowers the skill threshold for exploitation to near zero. However, prevalence is the main limiting factor: this is a demo/educational codebase with a very small production footprint, meaning the attack surface is narrow. CVSS indicates low confidentiality and integrity impact, likely reflecting limited scope (single application database), but a successful SQL injection on a login form can realistically yield authentication bypass and credential harvesting - impacts that may be undersold by the assigned scores.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated remote attacker navigates to the /login.php page of a publicly accessible installation of Online Shopping System 1.0 and submits a crafted email value containing SQL metacharacters (e.g., ' OR '1'='1) in the login form. The unsanitized input is passed directly into a backend SQL query, allowing the attacker to bypass authentication entirely or extract database contents such as user credentials. A public POC on GitHub documents this technique, meaning exploitation requires minimal skill.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 16, 2026

SQL injection in code-projects Online Shopping System 1.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the email parameter on the /login.php endpoint, potentially bypassing authentication and reading or modifying backend database contents. A public proof-of-concept exploit has been published on GitHub, confirming practical exploitability. No patch is available at time of analysis, and the product is a low-prevalence academic/demo codebase with no indication of CISA KEV listing.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. The primary recommended fix is to replace string-concatenated SQL query construction in /login.php with parameterized queries or prepared statements using PDO or MySQLi, which eliminates the injection surface entirely. As an immediate compensating control, input validation and strict whitelist filtering on the email parameter (e.g., enforcing RFC 5321 email format server-side) can reduce attack surface but does not fully remediate the root cause and may be bypassed by creative payloads. Deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL injection rule sets in blocking mode provides an additional layer but should not substitute for code-level fixes. Administrators running this application in any environment should consider taking the login endpoint offline until a code fix is applied, given the availability of public exploit code.

Affected ProductsAI

code-projects Online Shopping System version 1.0 is the sole confirmed affected product, specifically the /login.php login component. No CPE string was included in the intelligence data. The product is distributed via code-projects.org and is a PHP-based web application. No other versions or products are referenced. Vendor project page: https://code-projects.org/. No formal vendor advisory URL was included in the reference set.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is the PHP-based login handler at /login.php in code-projects Online Shopping System version 1.0, classified under CWE-74 (Injection), which encompasses unsanitized user-controlled input being passed into an interpreter. The specific instantiation is classic SQL injection (SQLi, per tags) via the 'email' POST/GET parameter, indicating the application constructs database queries by string-concatenating user input without parameterized queries or adequate escaping. The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N confirms the attack surface is entirely network-accessible with no complexity barriers. No CPE string was provided, but the product is a PHP web application distributed via code-projects.org as a downloadable student/portfolio project.
