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 a network-reachable deployment of the Online-Appointment-Booking-System exposing the get_town.php AJAX endpoint; exploitation is achieved by manipulating the countryid, townid, cid, didval, or cidval request parameters, with no authentication or user interaction needed per PR:N/UI:N. The primary limiting factor is deployment scarcity - this is an obscure single-maintainer project unlikely to be exposed at scale - rather than any technical precondition; any reachable default instance appears exploitable. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and point to a low-to-moderate real-world priority. The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated SQL injection, but the impact sub-metrics are all Low (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) and the score is only 6.9, indicating partial rather than full database compromise as assessed by the reporter. The E:P (Proof-of-Concept) exploit maturity flag and the 'POC publicly available' intelligence confirm exploit code exists, but there is NO CISA KEV listing and NO EPSS score provided, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation - exploitation status is 'publicly available exploit code exists,' which must not be conflated with in-the-wild activity. The affected software is a single-developer open-source GitHub project (girishsaraf/Online-Appointment-Booking-System) reported solely by VulDB, with the maintainer not yet responding, so the realistic threat is opportunistic scanning of the rare internet-exposed instance rather than a broad enterprise campaign. Key missing data stated explicitly: no EPSS probability was provided, no KEV status, and the vendor has issued no advisory or patch, so patch availability is unconfirmed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to the get_town.php AJAX endpoint, tampering with the countryid, townid, cid, didval, or cidval parameters to inject SQL. Because the endpoint accepts attacker-controlled input directly into a query (CWE-89), the attacker can read or manipulate backend database records. A public proof-of-concept is referenced via the project's GitHub issue, lowering the skill barrier to reproduce the attack. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 05, 2026
SQL injection in the girishsaraf Online-Appointment-Booking-System (rolling release) lets unauthenticated remote attackers manipulate the countryid, townid, cid, didval, or cidval parameters in get_town.php to read or alter database contents with low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact per the assessed vector. Publicly available exploit code exists, but there is no CISA KEV confirmation of active exploitation. The primary real-world limiting factor is deployment scarcity: this is an obscure single-maintainer PHP project unlikely to be exposed at scale, though any network-reachable default instance exposing the AJAX endpoint appears exploitable.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and the maintainer has not responded to the issue report. Until an upstream fix is available, restrict network access to get_town.php so only trusted users or VPN clients can reach it, or place the entire application behind an authenticated reverse proxy; this will break public booking flows if the endpoint is required for city or town selection. Apply strict server-side or WAF validation on countryid, townid, cid, didval, and cidval, ideally enforcing integer-only values, with the trade-off that legitimate non-numeric requests may be blocked. If code changes are possible, replace string-concatenated SQL in get_town.php with parameterized or prepared statements and run the application with a least-privilege database account that cannot read or write unrelated tables or execute administrative procedures. Monitor web logs for SQL injection patterns targeting get_town.php, and consider forking the project to apply the fix if the maintainer remains unresponsive.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected asset is a PHP web application identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:girishsaraf:online-appointment-booking-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, with the vulnerable code in the AJAX endpoint get_town.php. CWE-89 indicates improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands: user-controlled request parameters are incorporated into database queries without sufficient sanitization or parameterization, allowing SQL syntax manipulation. Both the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) and the independent CVSS 3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) describe network-reachable, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction and limited impact. Because the project follows a rolling-release model, there is no fixed version boundary; any deployment containing the vulnerable code path is in scope.
