Network-reachable PHP endpoint, low complexity, PR:L because authenticated session is required; limited and scoped CIA impact consistent with a contained SQL injection in a small application.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was identified in code-projects Online Shopping System 1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /homeaction.php. Such manipulation of the argument cat_id leads to sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in the cat_id parameter of /homeaction.php in code-projects Online Shopping System 1.0 exposes the backend database to remote attackers holding low-privilege authenticated sessions. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L) confirms low-complexity network exploitation with a public proof-of-concept documented on GitHub, lowering the skill bar for abuse. Successful exploitation yields limited read, write, and availability impact against the application's database; no public active exploitation (KEV) has been confirmed.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is /homeaction.php in code-projects Online Shopping System 1.0, a PHP-based web application distributed through code-projects.org as a demo/educational project. The cat_id request parameter is interpolated directly into a backend SQL query without sanitization, parameterization, or prepared-statement protection. This maps to CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component - Injection), the parent class encompassing SQL injection: attacker-controlled input structurally alters the intended SQL query, allowing query logic manipulation. No CPE string was supplied in the intelligence data; the only confirmed version is 1.0.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis for code-projects Online Shopping System 1.0. The definitive fix is to refactor /homeaction.php to use parameterized queries or PHP PDO/MySQLi prepared statements for the cat_id parameter, eliminating the injection vector entirely. As an interim compensating control, apply strict server-side input validation on cat_id enforcing a numeric-only whitelist (e.g., ctype_digit()), which reduces but does not eliminate risk if the validation is bypassable. A Web Application Firewall rule targeting SQL metacharacter patterns on requests to /homeaction.php can further impede exploitation but adds operational overhead and can produce false positives. Where feasible, restrict access to the application to trusted internal networks to remove the network attack surface. The public POC at https://github.com/zzzxc643/CVE1/blob/main/online-shopping-system/vul3.md should be used to validate the effectiveness of any applied mitigations.
