Technical details

Smartshop 1 is vulnerable to SQL injection across multiple components, most notably a time-based blind injection in search.php via the 'searched' GET parameter. The application fails to sanitize user input before incorporating it into SQL queries, specifically within the WHERE clause of product lookups. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send crafted GET requests containing SQL payloads (such as SLEEP commands) to infer database contents. Additional entry points were identified in category.php and product.php via the 'id' parameter, which support Union-based extraction. No official patch is documented, though the vulnerability was disclosed alongside proof-of-concept code.
