Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in yashpokharna2555 restaurent-management-system due to the improper neutralization of special elements in the 'email' POST parameter within /forgotpassword.php. The application uses direct string concatenation to build SQL queries for both SELECT and UPDATE operations in the password reset flow, failing to use prepared statements or parameterized queries. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted POST request to trigger boolean-based or time-based blind SQL injection. This allows for the extraction of data from the backend MySQL database and potentially broader system compromise, as similar patterns are reported in other authentication-related files like login_register.php and admin.php. No patch is currently available as the maintainer has not responded to the issue report.
