Lifecycle Timeline
8DescriptionCVE.org
A weakness has been identified in SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /ajax.php?action=save_receiving. Executing a manipulation of the argument ID can lead to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the ID parameter in /ajax.php?action=save_receiving. Publicly available exploit code (GitHub PoC) enables immediate weaponization. CVSS 7.3 reflects network-accessible attack with no authentication required, enabling confidentiality/integrity/availability impact across database operations. EPSS data not provided, but public exploit availability significantly elevates real-world risk for unpatched installations of this open-source PHP application.
Technical ContextAI
This is a classic SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in a PHP-based web application. The affected endpoint /ajax.php processes AJAX requests with an action parameter set to 'save_receiving', commonly used for inventory receiving operations in pharmacy management workflows. The vulnerability exists in server-side SQL query construction where user-supplied input from the 'ID' parameter is incorporated without proper sanitization, parameterization, or escaping. Attackers can inject malicious SQL syntax to manipulate database queries, potentially breaking out of intended WHERE clauses or appending additional SQL commands. The CPE identifies SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System as the affected product-a freely available PHP application likely built for educational or small business purposes without enterprise-grade input validation controls.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis (CVSS RL:X indicates unavailable remediation). Primary mitigation: immediately implement prepared statements or parameterized queries for all database interactions in /ajax.php, specifically for the 'save_receiving' action handler processing the ID parameter-this eliminates root cause by separating SQL logic from user data. Secondary urgent control: implement allowlist input validation restricting ID parameter to positive integers only (e.g., PHP filter_var with FILTER_VALIDATE_INT), rejecting requests with non-numeric values before database interaction. Compensating network controls with trade-offs: (1) restrict /ajax.php access to authenticated admin sessions only via PHP session validation-breaks unauthenticated API workflows if intended; (2) deploy web application firewall (WAF) with SQL injection signatures targeting common patterns (UNION, OR 1=1, comment sequences)-generates false positives for legitimate queries containing SQL keywords; (3) apply IP allowlisting for admin endpoints-prevents remote administration and breaks distributed usage scenarios. For production systems, consider migrating to actively maintained alternatives given SourceCodester's educational codebase focus. Monitor database logs for anomalous query patterns (multiple statements, UNION clauses, information_schema access) as detective control.
