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 | Requires an authenticated session on the AdithyaYelloju Restaurant-Management-System admin interface (PR:L) - the vulnerable code path admin/add_menu.php is an administrative menu-creation page, not a public endpoint. Exploitation is remote over the network with low complexity and no user interaction, achieved by injecting SQL through the item, price, image, or type parameters. Limiting factors: attacker must first obtain low-privilege admin panel access, and the product is a niche self-hosted project with no version pinning (rolling release), so exposure depends entirely on the rare deployment being internet-reachable. |
| Impact | This is a classic low-real-world-priority finding despite being a genuine SQL injection. The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L, base 5.3) with E:P (proof-of-concept exploit maturity) is internally consistent with the description: remotely reachable, low complexity, but requiring low-privilege authentication (PR:L) since admin/add_menu.php is an authenticated administrative page. No EPSS score is provided and the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no signal of active exploitation - only publicly available POC code (the GitHub issue report). The one metric I would dispute is the confidentiality/integrity impact: a working SQL injection typically permits full database dump and record tampering, so VC:H/VI:H would be more defensible than the vendor's VC:L/VI:L, which understates technical impact - however, this is offset by the requirement to already hold an admin-panel session. The dominant risk-reducer here is prevalence, not the vector: this is a hobbyist GitHub project (rolling release, vendor unresponsive to the issue report), so exploitation would be opportunistic against the rare individual deployment rather than a fleet target. Net: real bug, low real-world priority. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with access to the restaurant admin panel (or having obtained low-privilege admin credentials) submits a crafted item, price, image, or type parameter to admin/add_menu.php, injecting SQL that the backend concatenates unsanitized into a query. Publicly available POC exists via the vendor's GitHub issue #2, lowering the skill barrier. The attacker dumps or tampers with the backend database (menu, user, or credential tables). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 20, 2026
SQL injection in AdithyaYelloju Restaurant Management System allows an authenticated attacker with low-privilege admin panel access to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the item, price, image, or type parameters in admin/add_menu.php, leading to potential data theft or modification. Publicly available exploit code exists, but there is no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV); the independent assessment rates confidentiality and integrity impact as high and availability as low. Exploitation requires obtaining an authenticated session on the admin interface, and because the product is a niche self-hosted project with no version pinning, real-world exposure depends on the rare deployment being internet-reachable, making this a low-real-world-priority finding.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the project was informed via issue #2 but has not responded, and no updated release version exists due to the rolling release model. Compensating controls: restrict network access to the admin panel, specifically admin/add_menu.php, to trusted IP addresses or require VPN access (trade-off: limits remote administration flexibility). If code modification is possible, replace direct SQL query construction in admin/add_menu.php with parameterized statements or prepared queries for the item, price, image, and type parameters (trade-off: requires developer effort and testing). Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) tuned to block SQL injection patterns targeting admin/add_menu.php (trade-off: potential false positives and bypass via obfuscation). Ensure strong authentication and least-privilege for admin accounts to reduce the likelihood of initial access. Monitor the upstream repository at https://github.com/AdithyaYelloju/Restaurant-Management-System/ for future commits that may address the issue. Refer to VulDB advisory https://vuldb.com/vuln/407970 for any updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) is the root cause. The PHP-based Restaurant Management System constructs SQL queries in admin/add_menu.php using unsanitized user input from the item, price, image, and type parameters, allowing SQL injection. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:adithyayelloju:restaurant-management-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all versions are affected due to the project's rolling release model, which lacks version pinning. Authentication is required (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector and independent CVSS 3.1 assessment) because the vulnerable endpoint is an administrative menu-creation page. The attack is remote with low complexity and no user interaction, but the attacker must first obtain low-privilege admin panel access.

A vulnerability has been found in AdithyaYelloju Restaurant-Management-System up to 7f0e7e84255e8fcfd488e83f8f91451bbbff6b9c. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file admin/add_menu.php. The manipulation of the argument item/price/image/type leads to sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. This product is using a rolling release to provide continious delivery. Therefore, no version details for affected nor updated releases are available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
