Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in TandoorRecipes recipes up to 2.5.x. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown part of the component Parameter Handler. The manipulation of the argument query with an unknown input leads to a injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-74. The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. As an impact it is known to affect availability. CVE summarizes:

Tandoor Recipes is an application for managing recipes, planning meals, and building shopping lists. In versions prior to 2.6.0, the FDC (USDA FoodData Central) search endpoint constructs an upstream API URL by directly interpolating the user-supplied `query` parameter into the URL string without URL-encoding. An attacker can inject additional URL parameters by including `&` characters in the query value. This allows overriding the API key, manipulating upstream query behavior, and causing server crashes (HTTP 500) via malformed requests — a Denial of Service condition. Version 2.6.0 patches the issue.

The advisory is available at github.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-33148 since 03/17/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. This vulnerability is assigned to T1055 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

Upgrading to version 2.6.0 eliminates this vulnerability.
