SQL Injection in Food Ordering System Admin Cart Function

A security vulnerability has been detected in SourceCodester Simple Online Food Ordering System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /fos/admin/ajax.php?action=add_to_cart. Such manipulation of the argument pid leads to sql injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.

Casky was already ahead

This CVE exploits attack patterns that Casky's 323matched 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-2026-78198 is a remote SQL injection vulnerability affecting SourceCodester Simple Online Food Ordering System version 1.0. The flaw exists in the /fos/admin/ajax.php endpoint where the 'pid' parameter in add_to_cart operations lacks proper input validation and sanitization. Attackers can inject malicious SQL commands through this parameter to manipulate database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. This vulnerability has high severity (CVSS 7.3) and poses significant risk to organizations using this platform, as it enables unauthenticated attackers to compromise sensitive food ordering data, customer information, and business operations without requiring local access.

Casky's 754 mapped security skills, powered by Claude AI's extended reasoning, detect this attack through correlation of MITRE ATT&CK techniques TA0001 (Initial Access via web application exploitation) and TA0043 (Reconnaissance for identifying injection points). When analyzing this CVE, practitioners using Casky would observe skill detections for CWE-89 SQL injection patterns, including identifier of unsanitized user input flowing into database queries, absence of parameterized statements, and direct string concatenation in SQL contexts. The platform's reasoning engine would highlight suspicious parameter manipulation in AJAX handlers, detection of SQL metacharacters in network traffic, and database error responses leaking schema information. Practitioners would see findings grouped around input validation bypass techniques, improper neutralization of special elements, and direct database query manipulation—enabling security teams to prioritize remediation of similar injection vulnerabilities across their infrastructure.
