Missing Authentication on Admin Delete Endpoints
VENDOR

PRODUCT
Online Food Ordering System in PHP and MySQL Source Code
Product URL: https://www.sourcecodester.com/php/18232/food-order-system.html
VULNERABILITY
The admin/delete_admin.php endpoint performs a sensitive deletion without first requiring an authenticated admin session (CWE-306).
Discovered by: Shailendra Mourya (CyberShailendra)
Affected files: admin/delete_admin.php; similar missing checks are reported in admin/delete.php and admin/delete_category.php
Report date: 2026-10-10
Status: Reported as reproduced on a local XAMPP test instance.
FINDING DETAILS
Title: Online Food Ordering System delete_admin.php Missing Authentication Check
Affected file: admin/delete_admin.php (same pattern in admin/delete.php and admin/delete_category.php)
Vulnerability type: Missing Authentication for Critical Function (CWE-306)
Attack vector: Network (remote)
Authentication required: None
CVSS 3.1 vector (estimated): AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H
CVSS 3.1 score (estimated): 8.6 (High)
Root cause: The script includes config/constants.php for the database connection but does not include user_logged.php or check $_SESSION['user'] before executing the delete query.
Proof of concept: Unauthenticated GET /web/admin/delete_admin.php?id=50
Observed impact: The admin record with id=50 was reportedly deleted without a login session, preventing that account from logging in.
Confirmed by: Local XAMPP test instance, 2026-10-10.
Remediation: Require authentication at the top of all admin action scripts before database operations. Add exit() after redirecting unauthenticated users in user_logged.php.
TECHNICAL DETAILS — VULNERABLE CODE (admin/delete_admin.php)
<?php
include('../config/constants.php'); // database connection only; no authentication check
if(isset($_GET['id'])){
$id = intval($_GET['id']);
$sql = "delete from tbl_admin where id=$id";
$res = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
...
}
?>
The endpoint neither includes user_logged.php nor checks $_SESSION['user'] before running the delete query. As written, it does not distinguish an authenticated admin from an unauthenticated visitor.
CONTRIBUTING ISSUE — admin/partials/user_logged.php
The following guard redirects but does not stop execution:
<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['user'])){
$_SESSION['not-logged-in'] = "please login";
header("Location:" . SITEURL. 'admin/login.php');
// Missing exit(); execution continues in the including page.
}
?>
REMEDIATION CODE — admin/delete_admin.php
<?php
include('../config/constants.php');
include('user_logged.php');
if(isset($_GET['id'])){
$id = intval($_GET['id']);
$sql = "delete from tbl_admin where id=?";
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($conn, $sql);
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "i", $id);
$res = mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
if($res){
$_SESSION['delete_admin'] = "admin deleted successfully";
}
header('Location:'.SITEURL.'admin/admin.php');
exit();
}
?>
REMEDIATION CODE — admin/partials/user_logged.php
<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['user'])){
$_SESSION['not-logged-in'] = "please login";
header("Location:" . SITEURL. 'admin/login.php');
exit();
}
?>
