CVE-2026-105231: Food Waste Management System SQL injection in admin registration

CVE-2026-105231 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.3 · Published 2026-10-05

A web application for food donation and waste management contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in its admin registration page. An attacker can extract sensitive data from the entire database, including administrator password hashes and user records, by manipulating the email and username fields during sign-up. No authentication is required, and the vulnerability can be exploited from the network with simple HTTP requests.

Technologies: Kishor-23 Food-Waste-Management-System. Vendors: Kishor-23.

How to fix

Use prepared statements with parameterized queries for all SQL operations. Restrict the /admin/signup.php endpoint to authorized administrators only (pre-seed administrative accounts and remove the public registration route), and apply a least-privilege database user account to limit the scope of injection attacks.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an unauthenticated boolean-based blind SQL injection in admin/signup.php affecting the email, username, and location POST parameters. The application concatenates user input directly into SELECT and INSERT SQL queries without escaping or prepared statements; the response differs observably based on query success ("Account already exists" vs error), providing a boolean oracle for database extraction. An attacker can extract all admin hashes, user records, and feedback through character-by-character queries, or inject new administrator accounts via the INSERT statement.
