SQL Injection in Restaurant Management System Password Reset

A vulnerability was identified in yashpokharna2555 restaurent-management-system. This affects an unknown function of the file /forgotpassword.php of the component POST Parameter Handler. Such manipulation of the argument email leads to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. This product does not use versioning. This is why information about affected and unaffected releases are unavailable. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

Casky was already ahead

This CVE exploits attack patterns that Casky's 322matched skills already investigate — long before this vulnerability was disclosed. Claude's reasoning model maps these techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, so practitioners who ran these skills have already seen the threat behaviour in their findings.

Analysis

CVE-2026-13498 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the yashpokharna2555 restaurant-management-system affecting the /forgotpassword.php endpoint. The vulnerability exists in the POST parameter handler where unsanitized user input—specifically the 'email' parameter—is directly concatenated into SQL queries without proper parameterization or input validation. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands remotely, potentially enabling unauthorized access to sensitive customer and business data, including user credentials, personal information, and transaction records. With a CVSS score of 7.3 and publicly available exploits, this poses an immediate risk to any organization using this open-source system, particularly small to medium-sized restaurants that may lack mature security infrastructure.

Casky's 322 mapped skills leverage Claude AI with extended reasoning to detect the attack patterns associated with TA0001 (Reconnaissance) and TA0043 (Reconnaissance via SQL enumeration techniques). Practitioners using Casky would observe detection of suspicious POST requests to /forgotpassword.php containing SQL syntax patterns (UNION, OR 1=1, comment sequences) in the email parameter field. The platform's skills would identify CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output) and CWE-89 (SQL Injection) signatures, flagging attempts to manipulate database queries through crafted input strings. Security teams would see findings highlighting abnormal email parameter payloads, unusual database response times indicating query manipulation, and potential evidence of information exfiltration attempts—enabling rapid response before attackers establish persistent access or escalate privileges.
