code-projects Online Product Reservation System 1.0 register_code.php SQL Injection Vulnerability (CVE-2026-0592)
Executive & SecOps Summary
SECOPS ASSESSMENTcode-projects Online Product Reservation System 1.0, specifically the /handgunner-administrator/register_code.php component
Unauthenticated remote attackers can manipulate user registration parameters to execute arbitrary SQL commands, leading to full database compromise and potential remote code execution
Implement parameterized queries (Prepared Statements) for all user inputs and restrict access to the registration endpoint using WAF or web server configurations
Affected Products & Version Scope
Remediation & Live Workaround Commands
PATCH & WORKAROUND1. Official Patch & Version Upgrade Commands
As there is no official patch available from the vendor, you must manually remediate the source code by implementing PDO prepared statements to prevent SQL injection.
// Vulnerable Code Example:
// $username = $_POST['username'];
// $conn->query("INSERT INTO users (username) VALUES ('$username')");
// Secure Remediation using PDO Prepared Statements:
try {
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=reservation_db;charset=utf8', 'db_user', 'db_password');
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('INSERT INTO users (fname, lname, address, city, province, country, zip, tel_no, email, username) VALUES (:fname, :lname, :address, :city, :province, :country, :zip, :tel_no, :email, :username)');
$stmt->execute([
'fname' => $_POST['fname'],
'lname' => $_POST['lname'],
'address' => $_POST['address'],
'city' => $_POST['city'],
'province' => $_POST['province'],
'country' => $_POST['country'],
'zip' => $_POST['zip'],
'tel_no' => $_POST['tel_no'],
'email' => filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL),
'username' => $_POST['username']
]);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
error_log($e->getMessage());
exit('Database error occurred.');
}2. Temporary Workaround & Hardening Configuration
If immediate code modification is not feasible, restrict access to the vulnerable registration script at the web server level (e.g., Apache .htaccess or Nginx configuration).
# Nginx configuration to restrict access to the registration handler
location /handgunner-administrator/register_code.php {
allow 10.0.0.0/8; # Restrict to internal trusted network
deny all;
}3. Log Audit & IoC Verification Commands
Use the following Bash script to scan your web server access logs for potential SQL injection payloads targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
#!/bin/bash
LOG_FILE='/var/log/apache2/access.log'
TARGET_URI='/handgunner-administrator/register_code.php'
echo '[+] Auditing logs for SQL Injection attempts...'
grep -i "$TARGET_URI" "$LOG_FILE" | grep -E "(UNION|SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE|--|#|%27|%22|INFORMATION_SCHEMA)" > /tmp/detected_attacks.log
if [ -s /tmp/detected_attacks.log ]; then
echo '[ALERT] Potential SQL Injection indicators found!'
cat /tmp/detected_attacks.log
else
echo '[INFO] No malicious patterns detected in the logs.'

Technical Root Cause & Exploitation Mechanics
1. Vulnerability Overview & Root Cause
A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in code-projects Online Product Reservation System 1.0. The root cause lies within the /handgunner-administrator/register_code.php file, which handles user registration. The application fails to properly sanitize or parameterize input arguments such as fname, lname, address, city, province, country, zip, tel_no, email, and username before concatenating them directly into SQL query strings.
2. Exploitation Mechanics & Attack Scenario
An unauthenticated remote attacker can initiate this attack by sending a crafted HTTP POST request to the vulnerable endpoint. By injecting malicious SQL payloads (e.g., Union-based or Boolean-based injection strings) into any of the registration parameters, the attacker bypasses the intended application logic. Since a public exploit (PoC) has been released, attackers can easily automate this process to dump database contents, bypass authentication, or modify sensitive records.
3. Infrastructure & Business Impact
With a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical), this vulnerability poses an extreme risk to organization data integrity and confidentiality. Successful exploitation allows complete unauthorized access to the underlying database. Depending on database privileges, attackers may also read/write local files or execute system commands, potentially leading to full server takeover and lateral movement within the internal network.
Official Vendor Advisories & References
A security flaw has been discovered in code-projects Online Product Reservation System 1.0. This affects an unknown function of the file /handgunner-administrator/register_code.php of the component User Registration Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument fname/lname/address/city/province/country/zip/tel_no/email/username results in sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.
