Overview
A high-severity SQL injection vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-13323, has been discovered in the Simple Pizza Ordering System version 1.0 developed by code-projects. This flaw allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands by manipulating the ID argument in the /listorder.php file. The vulnerability is publicly known and an exploit is available, increasing the risk of exploitation.
Technical Details
The vulnerability resides in the /listorder.php file of the Simple Pizza Ordering System 1.0. Specifically, an unknown function within this file is susceptible to SQL injection. An attacker can manipulate the ID parameter within a request to this file to inject malicious SQL code. This injected code can then be executed by the application’s database, potentially leading to data breaches, modification, or complete system compromise.
The attack vector is remote, meaning an attacker does not need local access to the server to exploit the vulnerability.
CVSS Analysis
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score for CVE-2025-13323 is 7.3, indicating a high severity vulnerability. This score considers factors such as the ease of exploitation (remote attack vector), the level of access required (none), and the potential impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Possible Impact
Successful exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability could have severe consequences, including:
- Data Breach: Sensitive customer data, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and order history, could be exposed and stolen.
- Data Modification: Attackers could modify existing data, such as changing order details, prices, or user accounts.
- Account Takeover: Attackers could gain unauthorized access to administrator accounts, allowing them to completely control the system.
- System Compromise: In severe cases, attackers could gain full control of the underlying server, potentially leading to further attacks on other systems.
Mitigation or Patch Steps
Unfortunately, there is no official patch available from code-projects at this time. Therefore, the following mitigation steps are recommended:
- Input Validation: Implement robust input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially the
IDparameter in/listorder.php. Ensure that the input is of the expected type and format, and escape any special characters that could be interpreted as SQL code. - Prepared Statements: Use parameterized queries or prepared statements when interacting with the database. This prevents SQL injection by separating the SQL code from the data.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) to detect and block SQL injection attempts. Configure the WAF with rules specifically designed to protect against this type of attack.
- Restrict Database Permissions: Limit the database user’s permissions to the minimum required for the application to function. Avoid granting the database user excessive privileges.
- Consider Alternative Solutions: Given the lack of support and the severity of the vulnerability, consider migrating to a more secure and actively maintained pizza ordering system.
