CVE-2025-4936 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the projectworlds Online Food Ordering System, specifically within the /admin-page.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the '1_price' parameter, which can be manipulated by an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database without requiring any user interaction or privileges. The injection can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system's data. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no known active exploits have been reported in the wild yet. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, categorized as medium severity, reflecting the ease of remote exploitation without authentication but with limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (low impact in these areas). The vulnerability affects a critical component of the online food ordering system's administrative interface, which typically controls order management, pricing, and possibly user data, making it a significant risk if exploited.

For European organizations using the projectworlds Online Food Ordering System version 1.0, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive customer data, manipulation of order pricing, or disruption of order processing, damaging business operations and customer trust. Given the critical role of online food ordering platforms in the hospitality and retail sectors, exploitation could result in financial losses, regulatory penalties under GDPR for data breaches, and reputational damage. The ability to exploit this vulnerability remotely without authentication increases the attack surface, especially for organizations with publicly accessible administrative interfaces. Additionally, attackers could leverage this vulnerability as a foothold to pivot into internal networks, potentially compromising broader IT infrastructure. The impact is particularly relevant for small to medium enterprises that may lack robust security controls or timely patching processes.

Organizations should immediately restrict access to the /admin-page.php interface by implementing network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN access to limit exposure to trusted personnel only. Input validation and parameter sanitization must be enforced at the application level to prevent SQL injection, ideally by using prepared statements or parameterized queries. Since no official patches are currently available, organizations should consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block malicious payloads targeting the '1_price' parameter. Regular security audits and code reviews should be conducted to identify and remediate similar injection flaws. Monitoring and logging of database queries and administrative actions can help detect exploitation attempts early. Finally, organizations should plan to upgrade to a patched version once released or consider alternative solutions with better security track records.
