Security Vulnerability Report

Researcher: Abdurazzoqov Javohir
Date: 2026-06-19
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.8)
CWE: CWE-89 (SQL Injection), CWE-256 (Plaintext Password Storage)

---

Vulnerability 1 — SQL Injection in login.php (Critical)

File: login.php

$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST["email"]);
$password = $_POST["password"]; // NOT escaped!
$sql = "SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE email = '$email' AND password = '$password'";

$password is inserted directly into SQL with no sanitization.

PoC — Auth Bypass:

POST /login.php
email=x&password=x' OR '1'='1'-- -

Impact: Login bypass — access any user account.

---

Vulnerability 2 — SQL Injection in admin/admin/edituser.php (Critical)

$user_id = $_REQUEST['user_id'];
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$user_password = $_POST['password'];
mysqli_query($con, "update user_info set first_name='$first_name', ..., password='$user_password' where user_id='$user_id'");

5 unsanitized parameters in UPDATE query.

---

Vulnerability 3 — SQL Injection in admin/admin/addsuppliers.php (Critical)

All POST fields directly inserted into INSERT query without sanitization.

---

Vulnerability 4 — Plaintext Password Storage (High)

Passwords stored and compared in plaintext across all login flows.

---

Fix

Use prepared statements:

$stmt = $con->prepare("SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE email = ? AND password = ?");
$stmt->bind_param("ss", $email, password_hash($password, PASSWORD_BCRYPT));
$stmt->execute();

Hi @maintainer 👋

Thank you for your open-source contribution! I wanted to follow up on this security report.

Fastest path to get an official CVE number (2–5 days):

GitHub is an official CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) — meaning you can get a CVE assigned directly through GitHub without going through MITRE (which takes 2–4 weeks).

Steps:

1. Go to your repo → Settings → Security → Advisories
2. Click "New draft security advisory"
3. Fill in the details from this issue (I'm happy to help with the wording)
4. Click "Request CVE" — GitHub will assign a CVE number within a few days

This also gives proper credit to both the reporter and your project in the official CVE database.

Please let me know if you have any questions — I can provide any additional technical details needed for the advisory.
