CVE-2026-24494 identifies a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in the Order Up Online Ordering System version 1.0, specifically in the /api/integrations/getintegrations endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89), allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code through the store_id parameter in a POST request. Because the endpoint does not require authentication, any remote attacker can exploit this flaw without credentials or user interaction. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive backend database information, including customer data, order details, and potentially administrative credentials. Additionally, attackers could modify or delete data, disrupting service availability and integrity. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8, reflecting its critical severity due to network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. Although no public exploits are currently known, the vulnerability's characteristics make it highly exploitable. The lack of available patches at the time of disclosure increases the urgency for organizations to implement compensating controls. This vulnerability highlights the importance of secure coding practices such as parameterized queries and rigorous input validation to prevent injection flaws.

The impact of CVE-2026-24494 is severe for organizations using the affected Order Up Online Ordering System version 1.0. Exploitation can lead to full compromise of the backend database, exposing sensitive customer and business data, which can result in data breaches, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage. Attackers could manipulate order data, disrupt business operations, or escalate attacks by leveraging stolen credentials or information. The availability of the ordering system could be compromised by data deletion or corruption, leading to service outages and financial losses. Given the unauthenticated nature of the exploit, the attack surface is broad, increasing the likelihood of automated attacks and exploitation attempts. Organizations in the food service, retail, and hospitality sectors relying on this system are particularly vulnerable, potentially affecting customer trust and operational continuity globally.

To mitigate CVE-2026-24494, organizations should immediately implement the following measures: 1) Apply vendor-provided patches as soon as they become available. 2) In the absence of patches, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the /api/integrations/getintegrations endpoint, especially filtering suspicious store_id parameter values. 3) Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, enforcing strict type and format checks on the store_id parameter. 4) Refactor the backend code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 5) Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual queries or error messages indicative of injection attempts. 6) Limit database user privileges to the minimum necessary to reduce potential damage from exploitation. 7) Conduct security awareness training for developers on secure coding practices related to injection flaws. 8) Perform regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection vulnerabilities. These steps collectively reduce the risk of exploitation until a permanent fix is deployed.
