Lifecycle Timeline
8DescriptionCVE.org
A security flaw has been discovered in SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /ajax.php?action=save_sales. Performing a manipulation of the argument ID results in sql injection. The attack can be initiated 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 remote unauthenticated attackers to extract, modify, or delete database contents via the ID parameter in /ajax.php?action=save_sales endpoint. Publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub POC), enabling low-complexity attacks with no authentication barriers. EPSS data not available, but public exploit significantly lowers attacker skill threshold. CVSS 7.3 reflects network-exploitable vulnerability with moderate confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
Technical ContextAI
This is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in a PHP-based web application. The affected component is the /ajax.php endpoint with action parameter set to save_sales, where the ID parameter is directly incorporated into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterized statements. SQL injection occurs when user-controlled input is concatenated into SQL commands, allowing attackers to break out of the intended query logic and execute arbitrary SQL statements. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:pharmacy_sales_and_inventory_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates this affects SourceCodester's freely distributed code, commonly used by small pharmacies or for educational purposes. The PHP tag suggests the application uses direct SQL query construction rather than modern ORM frameworks or prepared statements that would mitigate this vulnerability class.
RemediationAI
Immediate action: Replace vulnerable version 1.0 with a patched release if available by checking https://www.sourcecodester.com/ and https://vuldb.com/vuln/359662 for updates. However, no vendor-released patch has been independently confirmed at time of analysis. Compensating controls: (1) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL metacharacters in the ID parameter for /ajax.php requests - test thoroughly as this may break legitimate numeric ID values containing special characters; (2) Restrict network access to /ajax.php endpoints to authenticated internal users only via .htaccess or web server configuration - this breaks the unauthenticated remote vector (PR:N→PR:L/H) but may disrupt legitimate AJAX functionality if the application requires unauthenticated access; (3) Apply input validation at the application layer by modifying /ajax.php to enforce integer-only ID values using PHP intval() or prepared statements with parameterized queries - requires source code modification expertise. Workaround trade-off: WAF rules may cause false positives; authentication requirements may break application workflows; code changes require PHP development skills and testing. Long-term: Migrate to a maintained, security-patched pharmacy management system, as SourceCodester projects are often educational code without enterprise security support.
