CVE-2026-105231 in food-waste-management-system
Summary
by MITRE • 10/05/2026
A vulnerability was detected in kishor-23 food-waste-management-system 411989e3ecb82895e53dca7865f72145f03d7d93/b3a70b2c492dc9904de5be1ad9389bd79b87f82c. The affected element is an unknown function of the file admin/signup.php of the component Admin Registration. The manipulation of the argument email/username/location results in sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. This product takes the approach of rolling releases to provide continious delivery. Therefore, version details for affected and updated releases are not available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.

The food-waste-management-system developed by kishor-23 contains a critical security flaw within its administrative registration module, specifically located in the admin/signup.php file. This vulnerability manifests as a SQL injection weakness affecting multiple input parameters including email, username, and location fields. The root cause lies in the application's failure to properly sanitize or parameterize user-supplied data before incorporating it into database queries. By manipulating these specific arguments, an attacker can inject malicious SQL commands that are executed by the underlying database management system. This type of flaw is a classic example of CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command which allows attackers to interfere with the queries an application makes to its database.
The operational impact of this vulnerability is severe due to the nature of the affected component. Since the vulnerable function handles administrative registration, it represents a high-value target for threat actors seeking unauthorized access or data exfiltration. Successful exploitation could allow remote attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms, extract sensitive information such as user credentials and personal data stored in the database, modify existing records, or potentially execute commands on the underlying server depending on the database configuration and privileges granted to the application's database account. The fact that this vulnerability is remotely exploitable means it can be leveraged over a network without requiring prior authentication, significantly increasing its risk profile.
Industry frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK classify SQL injection under techniques like T1059 Command and Scripting Interpreter or more specifically data exfiltration methods where structured query language is used to retrieve unauthorized data. The persistence of this vulnerability in the codebase highlights a gap in secure coding practices, particularly regarding input validation and output encoding. Despite being identified through an issue report early on, the project maintainers have not yet issued a patch or response. This lack of remediation leaves all instances of the software vulnerable to public exploits that are already available for use by malicious actors.
Mitigation strategies must be implemented immediately since official updates are unavailable due to the project's rolling release model which obscures specific version boundaries. Developers should enforce strict input validation on all user-supplied fields, ensuring that only expected data types and formats are accepted. The most effective technical fix involves refactoring the database interaction code to use prepared statements with parameterized queries rather than string concatenation for building SQL commands. Additionally implementing a Web Application Firewall can provide a temporary layer of defense by filtering out malicious payloads before they reach the application logic. Organizations deploying this system should consider isolating it from public-facing networks or restricting administrative access through IP whitelisting until the underlying code is corrected to neutralize the injection vectors.
