Technical details

An SQL injection vulnerability exists in the GetServiceByRestaurantID endpoint of the Aptsys gemscms POS Platform backend. The flaw is caused by the lack of sanitization or parameterization when user-supplied input from the 'id' parameter is concatenated into dynamic SQL queries. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable endpoint to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This can result in unauthorized data extraction, modification, or deletion within the backend database. The vulnerability was reported in May 2025 and remains unpatched as the vendor has not acknowledged the researcher's notifications.
