Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in SourceCodester Simple POS and Inventory System 1.0 within the 'id' GET parameter handler used by several administrative scripts, including /admin/deleteproduct.php, /admin/deletecustomer.php, and /admin/deletesupplier.php. The application fails to sanitize the 'id' parameter before concatenating it into SQL queries using mysqli_query(). An authenticated attacker with administrative access can exploit this to perform error-based or UNION-based SQL injection. This allows for the deletion of arbitrary database records, exfiltration of sensitive information such as MD5 password hashes, or potentially remote code execution via 'INTO OUTFILE' if the database user has sufficient privileges. No patch is currently available; users are advised to implement prepared statements and cast input parameters to integers.
