CVE-2026-5552 represents a SQL Injection vulnerability discovered in the PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal Project. This flaw allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code through the 'pid' parameter within the /sub-category.php file, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification. The vulnerability affects version 2.1 of the project and is particularly concerning as a public exploit is already available, increasing the risk of active exploitation. No official patch has been released at the time of publication.
A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal Project 2.1, specifically within the /sub-category.php file and the Parameter Handler component. The vulnerability stems from improper handling of the 'pid' argument, allowing for malicious SQL code injection. Remote exploitation is possible, meaning an attacker can exploit this weakness from anywhere with network access. The vulnerability is rated CVSS 6.3, indicating a moderate risk. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to access, modify, or delete sensitive data within the database, compromising the system's integrity and confidentiality. The public availability of an exploit significantly increases the risk of attacks.
The vulnerability resides in the /sub-category.php file, specifically in the handling of the 'pid' parameter. An attacker can manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL code. Exploitation is remote, allowing attackers to exploit the vulnerability from any location with network access. The public availability of the exploit lowers the barrier to entry for attackers with varying skill levels. Potential impact includes data loss, data modification, and denial of service. The lack of an official patch underscores the urgency of implementing mitigation measures.

Currently, no official fix is available from PHPGurukul for this vulnerability. The most immediate mitigation is to update to a newer version of the Online Shopping Portal Project if one exists. In the interim, rigorous input validation and sanitization, especially of the 'pid' parameter, is strongly recommended. Utilizing prepared statements or stored procedures can help prevent SQL injection. Active monitoring of server logs for suspicious activity is also crucial. Consider implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter malicious traffic.
Update the PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal Project to a corrected version that resolves the SQL injection (SQL Injection) vulnerability in the /sub-category.php file. Review and sanitize the code to prevent future SQL injections, using prepared statements or appropriate escaping functions.
