DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was detected in SourceCodester Online Book Store System 1.0. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /admin/index.php of the component Administrative Interface. Performing a manipulation of the argument page results in improper control of filename for include/require statement in php program. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used.

AnalysisAI

Local File Inclusion (LFI) in SourceCodester Online Book Store System 1.0 allows authenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the page parameter in /admin/index.php, leading to source code and sensitive file disclosure. The vulnerability stems from unsanitized user input passed directly to PHP's include/require statement (CWE-98), with a publicly available proof-of-concept exploit documented on Medium. No patch has been identified; CVSS 4.0 scores this 2.1, reflecting the limited impact scope and authenticated precondition.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program) describes a class of PHP-specific flaws where user-supplied input is passed without sanitization to include(), require(), or their variants, enabling path traversal to load arbitrary local files. The affected component is the administrative interface at /admin/index.php in SourceCodester Online Book Store System 1.0 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:online_book_store_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The page GET/POST parameter is used to dynamically construct the file path for inclusion, a common but dangerous PHP pattern. SourceCodester is a code-sharing platform hosting educational/hobby PHP projects; this product is not an enterprise-grade application and typically lacks hardened input validation.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. Upstream fix availability is not confirmed - the only references are VulDB entries and a community POC writeup. Immediate compensating controls include: (1) Restricting access to /admin/index.php and the entire /admin/ directory to trusted IP ranges via web server ACLs or firewall rules - this eliminates remote exploitation but requires network-level enforcement. (2) Implementing a strict allowlist for the page parameter in application code, accepting only predefined, alphanumeric page identifiers and rejecting any input containing path traversal sequences (../, /, %2F, %2E). (3) Disabling PHP's allow_url_include directive in php.ini to block remote file inclusion variants, though this does not prevent local file inclusion. Organizations running this software in production (atypical given its hobby-project nature) should treat it as unmaintained and consider replacing it with a supported alternative.
