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

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 24 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: evidence found.
CVSS exploit maturity: proof of concept public
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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

To mitigate CVE-2026-4779, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Immediately review and sanitize all user inputs, especially the 'sid' parameter in update_customer_details.php, using strict input validation and allowlisting techniques. 2) Refactor the application code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 3) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable parameter. 4) Monitor application logs and database access patterns for unusual or suspicious activity indicative of exploitation attempts. 5) Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential injection attacks. 6) If possible, isolate the affected system within the network to reduce exposure. 7) Engage with the vendor or community to obtain patches or updates as they become available. 8) Conduct security testing, including automated scanning and manual penetration testing, to verify the vulnerability is mitigated. 9) Educate development teams on secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in future releases.

Description

A security vulnerability has been detected in SourceCodester Sales and Inventory System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file update_customer_details.php of the component HTTP GET Parameter Handler. Such manipulation of the argument sid leads to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.

Impact

The potential impact of CVE-2026-4779 includes unauthorized access to sensitive customer and inventory data, data manipulation, and potential disruption of sales and inventory operations. Attackers exploiting this SQL injection could extract confidential information, modify records, or delete critical data, leading to financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory compliance issues. The vulnerability's remote exploitability without authentication increases the risk of automated attacks and mass exploitation attempts. Organizations relying on this system for critical business functions may experience operational downtime or data integrity issues if exploited. Although the vulnerability is rated medium severity, the actual impact depends on the database contents and the organization's reliance on the affected system. The absence of known exploits currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially after public disclosure. The vulnerability could also serve as a foothold for further attacks within the network if leveraged by threat actors.
