MEDIUM 5.3

DescriptionCVE.org

A security flaw has been discovered in code-projects Social Networking Site 1.0. This affects an unknown function of the file delete_photos.php of the component Endpoint. The manipulation of the argument ID results in sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.

AnalysisAI

SQL injection in code-projects Social Networking Site 1.0 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries via the ID parameter in delete_photos.php, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability affects an unknown function in the Endpoint component and has publicly available exploit code, increasing the likelihood of active abuse despite the moderate CVSS 5.3 score.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability stems from improper input validation in the delete_photos.php endpoint, a common PHP-based social networking application. The root cause is CWE-89 (SQL Injection), where user-supplied input in the ID parameter is concatenated directly into SQL queries without parameterized statements or prepared statements. The affected product is code-projects Social Networking Site version 1.0 (cpe:2.3:a:code-projects:social_networking_site:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), a PHP-based web application. Attackers can bypass SQL query logic by injecting malicious SQL syntax, allowing them to interact with the underlying database beyond the intended function scope.

RemediationAI

Upgrade code-projects Social Networking Site to a patched version released by the vendor (exact version number not specified in available advisories; consult https://code-projects.org/ for the latest release). If an immediate patch is unavailable, implement the following compensating controls: (1) restrict network access to the delete_photos.php endpoint using web application firewall rules or reverse proxy IP allowlisting; (2) enforce prepared statements or parameterized SQL queries in the affected endpoint if source code access is available; (3) apply strict input validation to the ID parameter, accepting only expected numeric or alphanumeric formats; (4) monitor application logs for anomalous SQL syntax in request parameters; (5) enforce strong authentication and access controls to limit exposure to authenticated users only.
