CVE-2026-114384 Overview
CVE-2026-114384 is a SQL injection vulnerability in itsourcecode Online Cake Ordering System 1.0. The flaw resides in the /transactionsave.php endpoint, where the del parameter is passed into a database query without proper sanitization. Attackers can manipulate the del argument to inject arbitrary SQL statements. The attack is remotely exploitable and requires low privileges with no user interaction. The exploit details have been publicly disclosed, increasing the likelihood of opportunistic abuse against exposed deployments. The weakness is classified under CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component).
Critical Impact
Remote attackers with low-privilege access can execute arbitrary SQL queries through the del parameter in /transactionsave.php, potentially exposing or modifying backend database records.

Technical Details for CVE-2026-114384
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability exists in the transactionsave.php script of the Online Cake Ordering System. The script accepts a user-controlled del parameter and concatenates it directly into a SQL statement executed against the backend database. Because the parameter is neither parameterized nor sanitized, attackers can inject SQL fragments that alter the structure of the original query.
Successful injection can disclose transaction records, modify order data, or extract credentials stored in the database. The attack is launched over the network against the web application and only requires a valid low-privilege session or accessible endpoint. The public disclosure of exploitation details lowers the barrier for weaponization.
Root Cause
The root cause is improper neutralization of user input before it is incorporated into a SQL query [CWE-74]. The application trusts the del argument supplied via HTTP and interpolates it into a query string. No prepared statements, parameter binding, or allow-list validation guard the input path.
Attack Vector
An attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to /transactionsave.php with a malicious payload in the del parameter. The injected clause modifies the executed query, enabling boolean-based, union-based, or error-based extraction techniques. Because the application is a web-facing commerce platform, exposure to untrusted networks is expected.

Detection Methods for CVE-2026-114384
Indicators of Compromise
- HTTP requests to /transactionsave.php containing SQL meta-characters such as ', --, UNION, SLEEP(, or OR 1=1 in the del parameter.
- Web server access logs showing repeated requests to transactionsave.php with unusually long or encoded del values.
- Database error messages referencing the del parameter or malformed queries originating from the cake ordering application.
Detection Strategies
- Deploy web application firewall (WAF) signatures that inspect query strings for SQL injection patterns targeting the del parameter.
- Enable database query logging and alert on queries containing unexpected UNION, SELECT, or stacked statements originating from the application service account.
- Correlate web access logs with database audit logs to identify anomalous query structures tied to /transactionsave.php.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Monitor outbound data volumes from the database server for signs of bulk extraction following suspicious web requests.
- Track authentication events for the application's low-privilege accounts, which are the prerequisite for exploitation.
- Alert on new or modified rows in sensitive tables (customers, transactions, administrators) outside normal business workflows.
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-114384
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict public exposure of the Online Cake Ordering System 1.0 deployment until a vendor patch or hardened code is applied.
- Deploy WAF rules that block SQL injection payloads targeting the del parameter on /transactionsave.php.
- Rotate database credentials and audit the application's database user for excessive privileges.
Patch Information
No official vendor patch has been published at the time of NVD publication. Monitor the IT Source Code Blog and VulDB Vulnerability #424743 for updates. Operators maintaining their own fork should refactor transactionsave.php to use parameterized queries or prepared statements with strict input validation on del.
Workarounds
- Implement server-side input validation that accepts only expected values (for example, numeric identifiers) for the del parameter.
- Place the application behind an authenticated reverse proxy and limit access to trusted operator networks.
- Apply least-privilege database roles so the application account cannot modify schema or read sensitive tables beyond its functional scope.
# Example WAF rule (ModSecurity) to block SQLi in the del parameter

"id:1142026,phase:2,deny,status:403,\
