CVE-2026-7267 Overview
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in SourceCodester Pizzafy Ecommerce System version 1.0. The flaw exists in the /view_prod.php file, where improper handling of the ID parameter allows attackers to inject malicious SQL statements. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely by authenticated users to manipulate database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion.
Critical Impact
Attackers can exploit this SQL injection vulnerability to extract sensitive customer data, modify product information, or potentially compromise the underlying database server through malicious SQL queries.

Technical Details for CVE-2026-7267
Vulnerability Analysis
This vulnerability is classified as CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component), commonly known as Injection. The vulnerable endpoint /view_prod.php accepts user-supplied input through the ID parameter without proper sanitization or parameterized queries.
When a user requests a product page, the application directly incorporates the ID parameter value into SQL queries. An attacker with low-level access to the system can craft malicious input containing SQL syntax that alters the intended query logic. The network-accessible nature of this web application means exploitation can occur remotely without requiring local access.
Root Cause
The root cause of this vulnerability is the failure to properly sanitize or parameterize user input before incorporating it into SQL queries. The /view_prod.php file directly concatenates the ID parameter into database queries without using prepared statements or input validation, allowing SQL injection attacks.
Attack Vector
The attack is network-based and can be executed remotely against the web application. An attacker needs low-level privileges to access the application. By manipulating the ID parameter in requests to /view_prod.php, an attacker can inject SQL commands that will be executed by the database server. The exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation in the wild.
The vulnerability allows attackers to craft requests containing SQL metacharacters and commands in the ID parameter. When the application processes this input without proper sanitization, the malicious SQL is executed against the backend database. This can result in unauthorized data extraction, modification of database records, or in some cases, command execution on the database server.
Detection Methods for CVE-2026-7267
Indicators of Compromise
- Unusual SQL syntax patterns in web server logs targeting /view_prod.php
- Database error messages appearing in application responses indicating query manipulation
- Anomalous database queries containing UNION SELECT, OR 1=1, or other SQL injection patterns
- Unexpected database access patterns or data exfiltration activity
Detection Strategies
- Monitor web application firewall (WAF) logs for SQL injection attack signatures targeting the ID parameter
- Implement database activity monitoring to detect anomalous query patterns
- Review web server access logs for requests to /view_prod.php containing suspicious characters such as single quotes, semicolons, or SQL keywords
Monitoring Recommendations
- Enable detailed logging for the /view_prod.php endpoint and associated database queries
- Configure alerting for database errors that may indicate injection attempts
- Deploy intrusion detection signatures specific to SQL injection attacks against PHP applications
How to Mitigate CVE-2026-7267
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict access to the Pizzafy Ecommerce System to trusted networks only until patched
- Implement a web application firewall (WAF) rule to filter SQL injection patterns in the ID parameter
- Review database logs for evidence of prior exploitation attempts
- Consider temporarily disabling the /view_prod.php functionality if not business-critical
Patch Information
No official patch information is currently available from SourceCodester. Organizations should monitor the SourceCodester website for security updates. Additional vulnerability details are available through the VulDB entry #359918 and the GitHub submission.
Workarounds
- Implement input validation to ensure the ID parameter contains only numeric values
- Modify the application code to use prepared statements with parameterized queries
- Deploy a web application firewall configured to block SQL injection attempts
- Restrict database user privileges to minimum required permissions to limit impact of successful exploitation
# Example WAF rule for ModSecurity to block SQL injection in ID parameter
SecRule ARGS:ID "(\%27)|(\')|(\-\-)|(\%23)|(#)" \
"id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'SQL Injection Attempt Blocked'"
