Lifecycle Timeline
6DescriptionCVE.org
A security flaw has been discovered in SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0. This impacts the function save_expired of the file /ajax.php?action=save_expired. The manipulation of the argument ID results in sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the ID parameter in the save_expired function of /ajax.php. The vulnerability affects an administrative interface endpoint and has publicly available exploit code. CVSS 5.1 reflects low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact despite network accessibility due to high-privilege requirement (PR:H).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from improper input validation in a PHP application endpoint (/ajax.php?action=save_expired) that processes user-supplied ID parameters without parameterized queries or prepared statements. This represents CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component), a variant of SQL injection where user input reaches database query construction. The application appears to be a PHP-based web application managing pharmacy inventory and sales operations, typical of small-business management systems built on unvetted frameworks or legacy code patterns without modern security libraries.
RemediationAI
Immediate remediation requires applying parameterized queries (prepared statements) to all database operations in /ajax.php, specifically the save_expired function handling the ID parameter. SourceCodester should release a patched version (no specific version number currently available from vendor). Until an official patch is available, compensating controls include: (1) Restrict network access to /ajax.php endpoints via Web Application Firewall rules blocking requests with suspicious SQL syntax in the ID parameter (e.g., quotes, SQL keywords); (2) Enforce strong authentication and multi-factor authentication for administrative accounts to limit PR:H exploitation scenarios; (3) Implement database-level access controls restricting the application user account to read-only permissions on non-critical tables and write access only to intended tables. Monitor the vendor's website (https://www.sourcecodester.com/) and VulDB submission (https://vuldb.com/submit/803019) for official patches. If you are the vendor, apply input validation using parameterized SQL statements immediately and publish a security advisory with a patched version number.
