Executive brief
The Online Shopping System is a PHP-based e-commerce application used to manage product catalogs and customer searches. A flaw in the search functionality allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through the search keyword parameter, potentially exposing sensitive customer data, product information, and account credentials stored in the database.
Technical details
This is a time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability in the /action.php file's search functionality. The application fails to properly sanitize or parameterize the keyword parameter before using it in SQL queries. An attacker can remotely exploit this by sending specially crafted search requests that include SQL payloads; no authentication or user interaction is required. Successful exploitation allows database queries to be read or modified, leading to data exfiltration or manipulation. No patch information is currently available for version 1.0.
