Exploitation Conditions

The application must be running SourceCodester Simple Online Food Ordering System 1.0 with the /admin/ajax.php endpoint reachable over the network. Per the CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:N/UI:N/AC:L/AT:N), no authentication is required and no special configuration enables the flaw - it is present in the default application state. The primary limiting factor is network reachability: if the /admin/ directory is protected by server-level authentication (HTTP basic auth, SSO reverse proxy) or restricted to internal IP ranges by firewall or .htaccess, exploitation from the internet would require bypassing those additional controls. No platform-specific, OS-level, or non-default configuration prerequisite is indicated by the available data.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) presents an unusually clean attack profile: network-reachable, low complexity, zero authentication, no user interaction, and no special attack requirements. The E:P maturity flag confirms a public proof-of-concept already exists, meaning exploitation capability is broadly accessible. The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 (Medium) reflects conservative low-impact ratings (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) that may understate real-world risk - SQL injection against an admin endpoint typically permits full database enumeration and record manipulation, which this analyst independently rates as High C/I. The CVE does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog and no EPSS data was supplied, so widespread active exploitation is not confirmed at time of analysis. However, the zero-authentication network vector combined with a public exploit means any internet-exposed instance should be treated as imminently exploitable, regardless of the moderate composite score.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated remote attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to /admin/ajax.php?action=delete_category&id=1'%20OR%201=1-- or a time-based blind injection payload against the exposed admin endpoint. The unsanitized id value is embedded directly into the SQL DELETE or SELECT statement, allowing the attacker to enumerate database schema, extract credential tables, or corrupt records. A working proof-of-concept demonstrating this technique is publicly available at https://github.com/normabowie11-max/cve/issues/1.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 20, 2026

SQL injection in SourceCodester Simple Online Food Ordering System 1.0 exposes the /admin/ajax.php?action=delete_category endpoint to unauthenticated remote attackers who can manipulate the id parameter to read or modify the underlying database. The CVSS 4.0 vector confirms no authentication, no user interaction, and no special conditions are required to exploit the flaw. A public proof-of-concept exploit has been disclosed on GitHub, lowering the barrier for opportunistic attacks against any internet-facing deployment.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; patch status should be monitored at https://vuldb.com/vuln/393621 and https://www.sourcecodester.com/. The primary fix is to rewrite the id parameter handling in /admin/ajax.php using PDO prepared statements or MySQLi parameterized queries, which eliminates the injection surface entirely. As an immediate compensating control, restrict network access to the /admin/ directory via server-level IP allowlisting (e.g., Apache .htaccess Require ip directive or an upstream firewall rule) - note this does not fix the underlying flaw but prevents external exploitation. Deploying a WAF with SQL injection rulesets (e.g., ModSecurity CRS) can detect and block common payload patterns but may produce false positives on legitimate admin traffic. Given this is a SourceCodester educational project, organizations should evaluate whether the application should be publicly internet-facing at all.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected software is a PHP-based web application distributed by SourceCodester, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:simple_online_food_ordering_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): the id argument supplied to the category-deletion AJAX handler is concatenated directly into an SQL query without parameterization or input sanitization. This pattern - unsanitized user input flowing into a dynamic SQL string - is the canonical SQL injection antipattern and allows attackers to alter query logic, extract data, or manipulate records entirely within the database layer.
