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 that the vulnerable AdithyaYelloju Restaurant-Management-System application be deployed and network-reachable, with the password-reset flow (User/forgot3.php) exposed. Exploitation targets the email and password parameters of this pre-authentication Password Reset component, so NO valid account or prior authentication is needed (PR:N) and no user interaction is required. The primary limiting factor is deployment scope rather than configuration: because this is a continuously-rolling individual project with no released versions, there is no patched build to apply, and exposure depends entirely on an operator choosing to self-host this specific codebase. |
| Impact | Signals are mostly consistent in pointing to an easily reachable but low-impact flaw. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) indicates a remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity attack requiring no user interaction, which is credible for an SQL injection in a pre-authentication password-reset page (User/forgot3.php). However, the impact metrics are all Low (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) and scope is unchanged, yielding a moderate 6.9 base score rather than a critical one - the vendor/VulDB assessment judged this a partial rather than full database compromise. Exploit maturity is E:P (Proof-of-Concept), matching the stated public exploit. No EPSS score, SSVC decision, or CISA KEV entry is present in the input, so there is no evidence of active or automatable exploitation - treat this as 'publicly available exploit code exists,' NOT in-the-wild. The practical risk is tempered by prevalence: this is an individual's GitHub project (AdithyaYelloju/Restaurant-Management-System), not enterprise software, so the real-world attack surface is minimal. Net: a genuine, trivially exploitable SQLi for anyone who deploys this specific project, but a very low organizational priority given near-zero production footprint and no exploitation telemetry. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker browses to the application's password-reset endpoint (User/forgot3.php) and submits a crafted value in the email or password parameter containing SQL metacharacters. Because input is concatenated into a database query, the attacker manipulates the query to read or alter data. A public proof-of-concept is referenced via the project's GitHub issue tracker, lowering the skill barrier. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the AdithyaYelloju Restaurant-Management-System password-reset endpoint (User/forgot3.php) allows remote attackers to manipulate the email and password parameters and inject arbitrary SQL into backend queries. The flaw sits in the pre-authentication Password Reset component, so no valid account or prior login is required (CVSS:4.0 PR:N, UI:N), and the assessed impact is limited to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss (C:L/I:L/A:L). Publicly available exploit code exists and has been described in the vendor's own issue tracker, but there is no indication of confirmed active exploitation and no vendor-released patch, since the project uses rolling releases and has not responded to the report.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis: the project was notified via issue report but has not responded, and because it ships as a rolling-release codebase there is no tagged fixed version to upgrade to (tracked at https://github.com/AdithyaYelloju/Restaurant-Management-System/issues/12). Until upstream provides a fix, apply compensating controls with the understanding that none fully removes the flaw: (1) if the password-reset feature is not required, remove or rename User/forgot3.php or otherwise deny HTTP access to it - this eliminates the attack surface but breaks legitimate self-service password recovery; (2) if self-hosted, restrict reachability of the application to trusted networks or place it behind an authenticating reverse proxy or VPN - side effect is reduced accessibility for end users; (3) deploy a WAF or reverse-proxy rule that blocks SQL metacharacters and known injection patterns on requests to the forgot/reset endpoints - effective against generic payloads but bypassable by encoding tricks, and prone to false positives on legitimate email addresses containing special characters; (4) if you have source access, rewrite the vulnerable query using parameterized statements (PDO/mysqli prepared statements) for the email and password inputs - this is the correct root-cause fix but is a local code change that must be reapplied on every upstream pull, and it should be offered back upstream. Given that public exploit code exists, prioritize exposure reduction over monitoring-only approaches, and treat any instance reachable from untrusted networks as at risk.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected code is a PHP web application - AdithyaYelloju/Restaurant-Management-System - where the file User/forgot3.php handles the password-reset workflow. Under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), user-supplied input from the email and password parameters is concatenated or otherwise interpolated directly into SQL statements instead of being passed through parameterized queries or proper escaping, letting an attacker alter query semantics. Because the endpoint is part of the unauthenticated password recovery path, it is reachable before any session or credential check, which is why the CVSS:4.0 vector reports PR:N and UI:N with network attack vector (AV:N) and no attack requirements (AT:N). The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:adithyayelloju:restaurant-management-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version for both the vulnerable and the patched side, reflecting that the project ships via continuous delivery with rolling commits rather than tagged releases, so the only meaningful version reference is the commit 7f0e7e84255e8fcfd488e83f8f91451bbbff6b9c at which the issue was observed.

A vulnerability was found in AdithyaYelloju Restaurant-Management-System up to 7f0e7e84255e8fcfd488e83f8f91451bbbff6b9c. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file User/forgot3.php of the component Password Reset. Performing a manipulation of the argument email/password results in sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. Continious delivery with rolling releases is used by this product. Therefore, no version details of affected nor updated releases are available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
