MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to be authenticated with high (admin-level) privileges on the Simple POS and Inventory System, as confirmed by PR:H in the CVSS 4.0 vector. The specific vulnerable condition is the admin panel endpoint /admin/deleteproduct.php being accessible and the 'ID' GET parameter being passed to the delete function without sanitization. No special non-default configuration is required beyond having an admin account - any default installation of version 1.0 with the admin panel exposed is vulnerable once admin access is obtained. Exploitation is limited by: (1) the requirement for prior admin authentication, which is itself a significant barrier; (2) SSVC Automatable: no, meaning mass automated scanning is not practical; and (3) impact bounded to Low across CIA on the vulnerable system only, with no scope change to other systems. |
| Impact | The overall risk profile is low despite network reachability. The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.0 reflects the high-privilege prerequisite (PR:H) - an attacker must already hold admin-level credentials to reach the vulnerable endpoint, substantially limiting the attack surface. Impact is scored uniformly Low across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), with no lateral scope impact (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N). EPSS corroborates this low-risk picture at 0.03% probability of exploitation (8th percentile), indicating minimal observed exploitation activity in the broader threat landscape. The SSVC assessment further confirms: Automatable is 'no' (the high-privilege requirement prevents scripted mass exploitation), and Technical Impact is 'partial'. The publicly available POC (E:P in CVSS 4.0 vector, GitHub gist confirmed) elevates the threat marginally above zero-day ambiguity but does not indicate active campaigns. No CISA KEV listing exists. In aggregate, this is a low-priority finding for organizations running this software - it cannot be exploited without prior admin compromise, which itself represents a more severe event. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained admin credentials to the Simple POS and Inventory System - via credential theft, brute force, or insider access - navigates to the /admin/deleteproduct.php endpoint and appends a crafted SQL payload to the 'ID' GET parameter (e.g., ?ID=1' OR 1=1--). Because the value is interpolated directly into an SQL query without sanitization, the injected clause executes against the backend database, enabling unauthorized data enumeration or manipulation. A public POC exists on GitHub confirming this technique is functional against version 1.0. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 08, 2026
SQL injection in SourceCodester Simple POS and Inventory System 1.0 allows a remote, high-privileged (admin-level) attacker to manipulate database queries via the unsanitized 'ID' GET parameter in /admin/deleteproduct.php. Successful exploitation yields partial read, write, and availability impact on the underlying database. No public exploit identified at time of analysis is incorrect - publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub gist), though no confirmed active exploitation (KEV) has been observed, and the EPSS score of 0.03% reflects minimal real-world exploitation pressure.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - SourceCodester community scripts typically do not receive formal security updates. The primary remediation is to replace direct GET parameter interpolation in /admin/deleteproduct.php with PHP PDO or MySQLi prepared statements and bound parameters, which eliminates the SQL injection root cause; this requires code modification by the deploying organization. As a compensating control, deployers should restrict administrative panel access (/admin/*) to trusted IP ranges via web server configuration (e.g., nginx allow/deny or Apache mod_authz_host), reducing exposure to the high-privileged endpoint required for exploitation - trade-off is operational friction for remote admins. Deploying a web application firewall rule to block SQL metacharacters in GET parameters targeting /admin/deleteproduct.php is an additional layer but is bypassable without proper input handling. The VulDB advisory is available at https://vuldb.com/vuln/365425. The public POC is documented at https://gist.github.com/c4ttr4ck/5d05aaee5b43f259ebe8bb8bce5c658f and should be reviewed to understand exact payload patterns.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected application is a PHP-based point-of-sale and inventory management system distributed by SourceCodester (cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:simple_pos_and_inventory_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), meaning the application constructs SQL queries by directly concatenating user-supplied GET parameter values - specifically the 'ID' argument passed to the delete function in /admin/deleteproduct.php - without parameterized queries or adequate input sanitization. This is a classic unsanitized PHP-to-MySQL (or similar RDBMS) interpolation pattern common in SourceCodester community-edition scripts. The wildcard version in the CPE string suggests no patched release has been catalogued.
