CVE-2026-7394: Pizzafy Ecommerce System SQLi Vulnerability

CVE-2026-7394 Overview

A SQL Injection vulnerability was discovered in SourceCodester Pizzafy Ecommerce System 1.0. This vulnerability affects an unknown functionality of the file /admin/view_order.php within the GET Parameter Handler component. By manipulating the ID argument, an attacker can perform SQL injection attacks remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized by threat actors.

Critical Impact

Remote attackers with administrative privileges can exploit this SQL Injection vulnerability to manipulate database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or further compromise of the underlying system.

Affected Products

• SourceCodester Pizzafy Ecommerce System 1.0
• /admin/view_order.php endpoint via GET Parameter Handler

Technical Details for CVE-2026-7394

Vulnerability Analysis

This SQL Injection vulnerability (CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component) exists in the administrative order viewing functionality of the Pizzafy Ecommerce System. The vulnerable endpoint /admin/view_order.php fails to properly sanitize the ID parameter before incorporating it into SQL queries. This allows an authenticated administrator to inject arbitrary SQL commands through carefully crafted GET requests.

The vulnerability requires administrative privileges for exploitation, which somewhat limits the attack surface. However, in multi-administrator environments or scenarios where admin credentials are compromised, this vulnerability could be leveraged for significant database manipulation. The exploit has been publicly disclosed on GitHub, increasing the likelihood of exploitation attempts.

Root Cause

The root cause of this vulnerability is insufficient input validation and sanitization of the ID parameter in the GET request handler. The application directly incorporates user-supplied input into SQL queries without using parameterized queries or prepared statements. This failure to implement proper input validation allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code that gets executed by the database engine.

Attack Vector

The attack is performed remotely over the network by targeting the /admin/view_order.php endpoint. An attacker with administrative access can manipulate the ID parameter in GET requests to inject SQL commands. The exploitation does not require user interaction beyond the attacker having valid admin credentials. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, modification of order records, or privilege escalation within the database context.

The vulnerability is exploited by appending SQL syntax to the ID parameter value. Technical details and proof-of-concept materials are available in the GitHub PoC Repository and the VulDB #360119 entry.

Detection Methods for CVE-2026-7394

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual SQL error messages in web server logs referencing /admin/view_order.php
• GET requests to /admin/view_order.php containing SQL syntax characters such as single quotes, double dashes, or UNION keywords in the ID parameter
• Unexpected database queries or data access patterns originating from the web application
• Log entries showing attempts to access order records with malformed or excessively long ID values

Detection Strategies

• Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns in GET parameters
• Deploy intrusion detection systems (IDS) with signatures for common SQL injection attack strings
• Monitor database query logs for anomalous queries originating from the view_order.php functionality
• Configure application logging to capture all requests to administrative endpoints with full parameter details

Monitoring Recommendations

• Enable verbose logging on the web server for all requests to /admin/ directories
• Set up alerting for SQL error patterns in application logs that may indicate injection attempts
• Monitor database audit logs for unauthorized SELECT, UPDATE, or DELETE operations on order-related tables
• Implement rate limiting on administrative endpoints to detect automated exploitation attempts

How to Mitigate CVE-2026-7394

Immediate Actions Required

• Restrict access to the /admin/view_order.php endpoint to trusted IP addresses only
• Implement input validation on the ID parameter to accept only numeric values
• Deploy a Web Application Firewall with SQL injection protection enabled
• Review administrative access logs for signs of prior exploitation
• Consider temporarily disabling the vulnerable endpoint until a proper fix is implemented

Patch Information

No official vendor patch is currently available from SourceCodester. Organizations using Pizzafy Ecommerce System 1.0 should implement the workarounds listed below and monitor for vendor updates. For additional information, refer to SourceCodester Security Resources and the VulDB submission.

Workarounds

• Implement prepared statements or parameterized queries in the /admin/view_order.php file to prevent SQL injection
• Add server-side input validation to ensure the ID parameter contains only numeric characters
• Deploy a reverse proxy or WAF with SQL injection filtering capabilities in front of the application
• Restrict network access to administrative interfaces using IP whitelisting or VPN requirements

# Example: Apache .htaccess to restrict admin access by IP
<Directory "/path/to/pizzafy/admin">
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 192.168.1.0/24
    Allow from 10.0.0.0/8
</Directory>
