Lifecycle Timeline
8DescriptionCVE.org
A security flaw has been discovered in SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /ajax.php?action=save_category. The manipulation of the argument ID results in sql injection. The attack may be launched 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 execute arbitrary SQL commands via the ID parameter in /ajax.php?action=save_category. Public exploit code exists on GitHub (y1shiny1shin/vuldb-project), enabling immediate weaponization against unpatched systems. CVSS 7.3 reflects potential for confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise through database manipulation. No remediation release identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
This is a classic SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in a PHP-based web application. The affected component is /ajax.php with action=save_category, likely handling category management operations in the pharmacy inventory system. The ID parameter accepts user-supplied input without proper sanitization or parameterized queries, allowing injection of malicious SQL commands. The vulnerability exists in SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System version 1.0 (CPE 2.3:a:sourcecodester:pharmacy_sales_and_inventory_system:*). SQL injection occurs when untrusted data is concatenated directly into SQL queries rather than using prepared statements or input validation, enabling attackers to break out of the intended query structure and execute arbitrary database operations.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Organizations running SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0 should implement compensating controls immediately. Primary mitigation: apply input validation and parameterized queries to /ajax.php save_category handler, specifically sanitizing the ID parameter using prepared statements (e.g., PDO with bound parameters in PHP). If source modification is not feasible, deploy web application firewall rules to block SQL metacharacters in ID parameter (', --, ;, UNION, SELECT keywords), though this provides incomplete protection against advanced injection techniques and may break legitimate functionality requiring special characters. Alternative: restrict access to /ajax.php to authenticated admin sessions only via web server configuration, converting this from unauthenticated remote to authenticated remote attack (still vulnerable but reduces attack surface). Consider replacing this application with actively maintained pharmacy management software with established security track record, as the lack of vendor security response suggests no future patches.
