CVE-2026-105229 in food-waste-management-system
Summary
by MITRE • 10/05/2026
A weakness has been identified in kishor-23 food-waste-management-system 411989e3ecb82895e53dca7865f72145f03d7d93/b3a70b2c492dc9904de5be1ad9389bd79b87f82c. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file signup.php of the component User Registration Endpoint. Executing a manipulation of the argument email/name/gender can lead to sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. This product utilizes a rolling release system for continuous delivery, and as such, version information for affected or updated releases is not disclosed. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

The identified vulnerability resides within the kishor-23 food-waste-management-system, specifically affecting the user registration endpoint implemented in the signup.php file. This component handles the processing of user input data during account creation, a critical function that directly interacts with backend database systems to store new credentials and profile information. The core technical flaw is an SQL injection vulnerability resulting from insufficient sanitization or validation of specific arguments passed by the client application. Specifically, manipulation of the email, name, or gender fields allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL commands into the query structure used for data insertion. This type of weakness aligns with CWE-89, which defines Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command, commonly known as SQL Injection. The lack of proper parameterized queries or input filtering enables the execution of arbitrary database instructions, bypassing intended logic and potentially granting unauthorized access to sensitive data structures.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe due to its remote exploitability. An attacker can initiate attacks from a distant location without requiring prior authentication, leveraging standard HTTP requests to target the registration endpoint. Since the project utilizes a rolling release system for continuous delivery, version tracking is obscured, making it difficult for administrators to determine if their specific deployment instance contains the vulnerable code or has been patched in subsequent updates. This ambiguity complicates vulnerability management and patching strategies. Furthermore, the public availability of exploit code significantly lowers the barrier to entry for malicious actors, increasing the likelihood of automated scanning and exploitation attempts across internet-facing instances. The potential consequences include unauthorized data access, modification of user records, extraction of sensitive information such as hashed passwords or personal identifiable information, and potentially full database compromise depending on the privileges associated with the application's database account.
Industry frameworks categorize this threat under specific behavioral patterns to aid in detection and mitigation planning. In terms of attack vectors, this vulnerability corresponds to ATT&CK technique T1190, which covers Exploit Public-Facing Application. The initial access is achieved through a web service that processes untrusted input without adequate validation. To mitigate this risk, immediate remediation should focus on implementing strict input validation and using parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database interactions involving user-supplied data. Developers must ensure that special characters in the email, name, and gender fields are properly escaped or handled through safe API methods rather than direct string concatenation within SQL commands. Additionally, deploying a Web Application Firewall can provide an additional layer of defense by filtering out known malicious payloads before they reach the application logic. For system administrators, since version information is not disclosed due to the rolling release model, it is advisable to monitor official project channels for security advisories and consider implementing runtime application self-protection mechanisms or regular code audits to identify similar weaknesses in other endpoints that handle user input.
