CVE-2025-6362: Simple Pizza Ordering System SQLi Flaw

CVE-2025-6362 Overview

A SQL Injection vulnerability has been discovered in code-projects Simple Pizza Ordering System 1.0. This vulnerability affects the file /editpro.php where improper handling of the ID parameter allows for SQL injection attacks. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, potentially allowing attackers to manipulate database queries and access or modify sensitive data.

Critical Impact

Remote attackers can exploit this SQL injection vulnerability to manipulate database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or complete database compromise.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-6362

Vulnerability Analysis

This vulnerability is a classic SQL Injection flaw (CWE-89) affecting the /editpro.php file in the Simple Pizza Ordering System application. The root cause stems from improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands, classified under both CWE-89 (SQL Injection) and CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component).

The vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious SQL statements through the ID parameter, which is directly incorporated into database queries without proper sanitization or parameterized query implementation. This network-accessible attack vector requires no authentication or user interaction, making it particularly dangerous for exposed installations.

Root Cause

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation and lack of parameterized queries in the /editpro.php file. When user-supplied input through the ID parameter is concatenated directly into SQL queries without proper sanitization, attackers can inject arbitrary SQL code that gets executed by the database engine.

Attack Vector

The attack can be initiated remotely over the network by manipulating the ID parameter in requests to /editpro.php. An attacker can craft malicious input containing SQL syntax that, when processed by the vulnerable code, alters the intended database query logic. This could enable data extraction through UNION-based attacks, authentication bypass, or data manipulation through UPDATE/DELETE injections. The vulnerability requires no prior authentication, significantly lowering the barrier for exploitation.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-6362

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual or malformed requests to /editpro.php containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, INSERT, DELETE, DROP)
• Database error messages appearing in application logs or responses
• Unexpected database query patterns or high query volumes targeting the affected endpoint
• Evidence of data exfiltration or unauthorized database modifications

Detection Strategies

• Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect SQL injection patterns in the ID parameter
• Monitor application logs for requests containing common SQL injection payloads
• Enable database query logging to identify suspicious or malformed queries
• Deploy intrusion detection systems (IDS) with SQL injection signature detection

Monitoring Recommendations

• Set up alerting for multiple failed database queries originating from the same source
• Monitor for anomalous access patterns to the /editpro.php endpoint
• Implement real-time log analysis for SQL injection attempt signatures
• Track database connection volumes and query response times for anomalies

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-6362

Immediate Actions Required

• Remove or restrict access to the vulnerable /editpro.php file until a patch is available
• Implement network-level access controls to limit exposure of the application
• Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection attempts
• Review database permissions to ensure least-privilege access for the application

Patch Information

No official vendor patch information is currently available for this vulnerability. Organizations using the Simple Pizza Ordering System should monitor the Code Projects Resource Hub and GitHub CVE Issue Discussion for updates. Additional technical details can be found at VulDB #313355.

Workarounds

• Implement input validation to sanitize the ID parameter, allowing only numeric values
• Use parameterized queries or prepared statements instead of string concatenation for database queries
• Deploy a reverse proxy or WAF with SQL injection protection enabled
• Consider taking the application offline or restricting it to trusted networks until properly patched

# Example WAF rule to block SQL injection attempts (ModSecurity)
SecRule ARGS:ID "(?i)(select|union|insert|update|delete|drop|;|--)" \
    "id:100001,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'SQL Injection Attempt Blocked'"
