CVE-2025-3332

Vulnerability: SQL Injection in codeprojects Online Restaurant Management System 1.0

Description: A critical SQL injection vulnerability exists in the /admin/menu_save.php file of codeprojects Online Restaurant Management System 1.0. By manipulating the menu argument, an attacker can inject arbitrary SQL commands.

Severity: Critical (CVSS v3.1 Score: 9.8)

Known Exploit: A public exploit is available, making exploitation highly likely.

Remediation / Mitigation Strategy

  1. Immediate Action: Input Validation and Sanitization:

    • Thoroughly validate and sanitize all user-supplied input, especially the menu parameter in /admin/menu_save.php. Use parameterized queries (prepared statements) or an ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) to prevent SQL injection. Escaping user input is insufficient.

  2. Code Review:

    • Conduct a comprehensive code review of the entire application, focusing on areas where user input is used in SQL queries. Identify and remediate all potential SQL injection vulnerabilities.

  3. Web Application Firewall (WAF):

    • Implement a WAF with rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attacks. Configure the WAF to monitor and log suspicious activity.

  4. Least Privilege Principle:

    • Ensure that the database user account used by the application has only the minimum necessary privileges required for its operation. Avoid granting overly permissive privileges.

  5. Software Update/Patch:

    • Check the vendor’s (codeprojects) website for a patch or update to address this vulnerability. Apply the patch immediately upon release. If no patch is available, consider contacting the vendor to request one.

  6. Database Security Hardening:

    • Implement database security best practices, such as regularly updating the database software, enforcing strong password policies, and auditing database activity.

  7. Monitoring and Logging:

    • Implement robust monitoring and logging of all application activity, including database queries. Monitor logs for suspicious patterns that may indicate an attempted SQL injection attack.

  8. Consider Temporary Mitigation (If Patch is Unavailable):

    • If a patch is not immediately available, consider temporarily disabling the /admin/menu_save.php functionality, or implementing strict input validation as a temporary measure, until a proper fix can be applied.

  9. Regular Security Assessments:

    • Conduct regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments to identify and address security weaknesses in the application.

  10. Incident Response Plan:

    • Ensure that you have an incident response plan in place to effectively respond to and contain any successful SQL injection attacks. The plan should include steps for identifying the scope of the breach, containing the damage, and restoring the system to a secure state.
