ExploitCVE-2024-9429
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') (CWE-89)
Summary
A critical vulnerability has been discovered in code-projects Restaurant Reservation System version 1.0. The vulnerability affects an unknown functionality in the file /filter2.php. The issue allows for SQL injection through the manipulation of the 'from' and 'to' parameters. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without requiring user interaction or privileges.
Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to severe consequences, including: 1. Unauthorized data access: Attackers may be able to read sensitive information from the database, potentially exposing customer data, reservation details, or other confidential information. 2. Data manipulation: The ability to inject SQL commands could allow attackers to modify or delete data in the database, potentially disrupting restaurant operations or falsifying reservation information. 3. System compromise: In some cases, SQL injection vulnerabilities can be leveraged to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying system, potentially leading to full system compromise. 4. Reputational damage: A breach resulting from this vulnerability could lead to loss of customer trust and significant reputational damage for the restaurant.
Exploitation
One proof-of-concept exploit is available on github.com. There is no evidence of proof of exploitation at the moment.
Patch
As of now, there is no information provided about an available patch for this vulnerability in Restaurant Reservation System 1.0. The security team should monitor for updates from code-projects and apply any patches as soon as they become available.
Mitigation
While awaiting a patch, the following mitigation steps are recommended: 1. Input validation: Implement strict input validation for the 'from' and 'to' parameters in the /filter2.php file. 2. Parameterized queries: Replace any dynamic SQL queries with parameterized prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 3. Least privilege: Ensure the database user account used by the application has minimal necessary privileges. 4. Web Application Firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF to help filter out malicious requests targeting this vulnerability. 5. Monitor: Increase monitoring for suspicious activities, especially those targeting the affected file and parameters. 6. Upgrade: Consider upgrading to a newer version of the Restaurant Reservation System if available, or evaluate alternative systems with better security practices.
