CVE-2026-102264 in robo-cafe-rms
Summary
by MITRE • 09/29/2026
A vulnerability was found in mwasikz robo-cafe-rms up to 228c44a02823f04e85db32b7137809a2856148fc. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file frontend/update-account.php of the component Edit Profile Feature. Performing a manipulation of the argument Name/Address/City results in cross site scripting. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This product follows a rolling release approach for continuous delivery, so version details for affected or updated releases are not provided. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Analysis

The identified vulnerability resides within the mwasikz robo-cafe-rms software, specifically affecting versions up to commit 228c44a02823f04e85db32b7137809a2856148fc. The flaw is located in an unknown function within the frontend/update-account.php file, which serves as part of the Edit Profile Feature component. This architectural placement indicates that the vulnerability impacts user-facing profile management operations where personal information such as name, address, and city are submitted for updates. The core technical deficiency involves insufficient input validation and sanitization mechanisms when processing these specific arguments. Consequently, an attacker can inject malicious script payloads into fields designated for Name, Address, or City data. Because the application fails to properly neutralize special characters before rendering this information back to the user interface, it results in a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability rather than a reflected variant. This distinction is critical as it allows the malicious code to persist on the server side and execute automatically whenever any victim views their own profile or potentially other users view shared data depending on implementation specifics.
From an operational impact perspective, this vulnerability poses significant risks to both end-users and system administrators. Since remote exploitation is possible without authentication in some configurations or with low-privilege accounts if session management is weak, attackers can target multiple victims simultaneously by crafting a malicious profile update that triggers the script execution upon subsequent page loads. The primary consequence of successful cross-site scripting attacks includes the theft of sensitive user data such as session cookies, which can lead to account takeover and unauthorized access to personal information or financial records associated with the restaurant management system. Furthermore, attackers may use this vector to perform actions on behalf of the victim, deface the application interface, or redirect users to malicious external sites designed for phishing attacks. The persistence of the payload means that even if the initial exploit is discovered, it continues to affect any user who accesses the compromised profile data until manual remediation occurs at the database level.
The vulnerability aligns with Common Weakness Enumeration category CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation known as Cross-site Scripting and specifically falls under subcategory CWE-83 if the input is stored in a database before being served to users, which is typical for profile update features. In terms of tactical mapping within the MITRE ATT&CK framework, this exploit technique corresponds to T1059 Command and Control via Application Layer Protocol or more directly T1189 Drive-by Client Side Scripting if used in conjunction with social engineering, but primarily it facilitates credential harvesting which maps to T1078 Valid Accounts when combined with session hijacking. The fact that the exploit has been made public significantly increases the risk landscape as automated scanning tools and less sophisticated threat actors can now leverage this knowledge without needing reverse-engineering efforts. This lowers the barrier for entry and accelerates the potential rate of compromise across installations running affected versions.
The development model employed by mwasikz, characterized by a rolling release approach for continuous delivery, complicates traditional patch management strategies. Because version details are not explicitly provided for every update or hotfix, identifying whether a specific deployment is vulnerable requires checking against the commit hash rather than semantic version numbers. This lack of clear versioning metadata makes it difficult for security teams to assess their exposure using standard vulnerability scanners that rely on discrete version strings. The vendor's failure to respond to early disclosure attempts further exacerbates the situation by leaving administrators without official guidance, patches, or workarounds from the source. Consequently, organizations relying on this software must implement compensating controls at the network perimeter and application layer. Deploying a Web Application Firewall with rulesets tuned to detect cross-site scripting patterns in POST requests targeting profile update endpoints can mitigate immediate exploitation risks. Additionally, enforcing strict Content Security Policy headers that restrict script execution sources and implementing robust input validation logic within custom code modifications or third-party plugins are essential steps to reduce the attack surface until an official fix is released by the vendor.
