Technical summary
The vulnerability resides in Smartshop 1's product.php file where the id parameter is vulnerable to SQL injection. The application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before constructing SQL queries. Attackers can inject malicious SQL code through the id parameter in GET requests to product.php. Union-based SQL injection techniques enable extraction of database schema information, usernames, and other sensitive data. The attack requires no authentication and can be executed remotely over the network.
Defensive priority
HIGH
Recommended defensive actions
- Apply input validation and parameterized queries to the id parameter in product.php
- Implement prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks
- Conduct code review of all database interaction points in the Smartshop application
- Deploy web application firewall rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts
- Monitor access logs for suspicious patterns targeting product.php with manipulated id parameters
- Remove or restrict access to the Smartshop application if patches are unavailable
- Consider migrating to actively maintained e-commerce platforms with established security practices
Evidence notes
Vulnerability identified in Smartshop 1 e-commerce template. Attack vector requires no authentication. Exploitation confirmed through union-based SQL injection against product.php id parameter. CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector with low attack complexity, no privileges required, and high confidentiality impact.
