CVE-2026-76998Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated SQL injection via delete_category id

Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026

SQL injection in SourceCodester Simple Online Food Ordering System 1.0 allows remote attackers to read or modify database data via the id parameter. The delete_category handler in /fos/admin/ajax.php?action=delete_category uses the POST id value directly in SQL queries without validation or parameterization, enabling boolean-based and time-based blind injection. The linked proof of concept states that no login is required, so any party that can reach the admin AJAX endpoint can enumerate databases and tamper with stored records.
