CVE-2024-58316: Online Shopping System SQL Injection Flaw

CVE-2024-58316 Overview

CVE-2024-58316 is a SQL injection vulnerability [CWE-89] in Puneethreddyhc Online Shopping System Advanced 1.0. The flaw resides in the payment_success.php script, where the cm parameter is passed directly into a database query without sanitization. Unauthenticated attackers can send crafted HTTP requests that manipulate the underlying SQL statement to extract arbitrary data from the backend database.

Critical Impact
Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exfiltrate sensitive database records — including user account data and order information — through a single crafted HTTP request to payment_success.php.

Affected Products

Technical Details for CVE-2024-58316

Vulnerability Analysis

The vulnerability is a classic in-band SQL injection in a PHP web application. The payment_success.php script accepts a cm parameter from the request and concatenates it directly into a SQL query used to look up user or transaction information. Because no parameterization or input validation is applied, the database server executes attacker-controlled SQL clauses appended through the parameter.

Exploitation requires no authentication and no user interaction. An attacker only needs network access to the application. By manipulating the user ID portion of the query, the attacker can append UNION SELECT statements, boolean conditions, or time-based payloads to enumerate schema details and read arbitrary table contents. Confidentiality impact is high, while integrity and availability of the database are not directly affected by the documented attack path.

The issue is tracked in the VulnCheck Security Advisory and a public proof of concept is published as Exploit-DB #51811. EPSS data places the exploitation probability at 0.485%.

Root Cause

The root cause is the use of unsanitized user input in a dynamically built SQL string. The cm parameter is read from the request and inserted into the query without prepared statements, escaping, or type enforcement. This violates secure coding guidance for [CWE-89] and gives attackers direct control over the query grammar.

Attack Vector

The attack vector is network-based over HTTP or HTTPS. An attacker issues a crafted GET or POST request to payment_success.php with a malicious value in the cm parameter. Successful payloads return database content in the rendered response or through inferential channels such as boolean or timing differences.

No verified exploit code is reproduced here. Refer to the published Exploit-DB #51811 entry for the documented proof of concept payload.

Detection Methods for CVE-2024-58316

Indicators of Compromise

Web server access logs containing requests to payment_success.php with SQL keywords such as UNION, SELECT, SLEEP, OR 1=1, or encoded variants in the cm parameter.
Database query logs showing unexpected UNION queries or queries referencing information_schema originating from the application service account.
Spikes in 500-level HTTP responses or anomalously long response times tied to payment_success.php requests.

Detection Strategies

Deploy a web application firewall rule that inspects the cm query parameter on payment_success.php for SQL metacharacters and common injection signatures.
Enable database query auditing and alert on queries that join multiple unrelated tables or read from information_schema from the shopping application context.
Correlate web server, application, and database logs in a SIEM to identify request bursts targeting payment_success.php from a single source IP.

Monitoring Recommendations

Track outbound data volumes from the database host; SQL injection data exfiltration often produces unusually large HTTP responses.
Monitor authentication and order tables for unexpected read patterns outside normal business workflows.
Alert on repeated 200 responses to payment_success.php containing structured database error strings.

How to Mitigate CVE-2024-58316

Immediate Actions Required

Restrict public exposure of any deployment of Online Shopping System Advanced 1.0 until remediation is in place; place it behind a WAF or network ACL.
Block or virtual-patch requests to payment_success.php that contain SQL metacharacters in the cm parameter.
Review web and database logs for evidence of prior exploitation and rotate any credentials or tokens stored in the affected database.

Patch Information

No official vendor patch has been published in the references for CVE-2024-58316. Operators should monitor the GitHub Project Repository for updates. Until a fix is available, source-level remediation requires replacing string-concatenated queries against the cm parameter with parameterized prepared statements using PDO or mysqli with bound parameters, and enforcing strict type validation on the user ID value.

Workarounds

Apply input validation in front of the application — for example, reject any cm value that is not a positive integer.
Configure the database account used by the application with read-only access limited to required tables, removing rights to information_schema where possible.
Deploy WAF signatures targeting SQL injection patterns and rate-limit requests to payment_success.php from individual source IPs.
