Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

CVE published 9 Mar 2026

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 30 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately review and restrict external access to the purchase_invoice.php endpoint, ideally placing it behind firewalls or VPNs to limit exposure. Input validation and parameterized queries must be implemented to sanitize the 'purchaseid' parameter and prevent SQL injection. If source code access is available, developers should refactor the vulnerable code to use prepared statements or stored procedures. In the absence of an official patch, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this parameter. Regularly monitor logs for suspicious activity related to 'purchaseid' parameter usage. Additionally, conduct thorough security assessments of the entire application to identify and remediate other potential injection points. Organizations should also plan for timely patching once an official fix is released.

Description

A vulnerability was found in SourceCodester Sales and Inventory System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file purchase_invoice.php of the component GET Parameter Handler. The manipulation of the argument purchaseid results in sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Impact

The SQL injection vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database, potentially leading to unauthorized data disclosure, data modification, or deletion. This can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive business and customer data, including purchase records and inventory details. Availability may also be affected if attackers execute destructive queries or cause database errors. The remote, unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the risk of widespread attacks, especially if the system is exposed to the internet. Organizations could face financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties due to data breaches or operational disruptions. The impact is particularly significant for businesses that rely heavily on the affected system for daily operations and inventory management.

Summary

CVE-2026-3792 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in SourceCodester Sales and Inventory System version 1.0. The vulnerability resides in the purchase_invoice.php script, where the GET parameter 'purchaseid' is improperly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL queries. This injection flaw enables remote attackers to manipulate backend database queries, potentially extracting sensitive data, modifying records, or disrupting database operations. The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, increasing its exploitability. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 (medium), reflecting the moderate impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and the ease of remote exploitation without privileges. No patches or fixes have been published yet, and no confirmed exploitation in the wild has been reported, but the public disclosure of the exploit code raises the urgency for mitigation. The affected product is niche but critical for organizations relying on this sales and inventory management system, which may include small to medium enterprises globally.
