CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2023-51313 is a high-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Phpjabbers Restaurant Booking System. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Junk Data (T1001.001); ranked at the 48th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
PHPJabbers Restaurant Booking System version 3.0 is affected by CVE-2023-51313, a CSV injection vulnerability stemming from insufficient input validation in the Languages section's Labels any parameters field within System Options. This flaw enables attackers to inject malicious payloads into data that is subsequently used to construct CSV files. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H) and is associated with CWE-94 (Code Injection), potentially allowing remote code execution.
An unauthenticated attacker (PR:N) can exploit this over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) by submitting crafted input into the vulnerable field. Exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R), such as an administrator opening the generated CSV file in a spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel, which interprets the injected formula or command. Successful exploitation grants high-impact access to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H), enabling remote code execution on the victim's system.
Advisories, including details from Packet Storm Security and the vendor's product page, highlight the vulnerability but do not specify patches or mitigations in the provided information. Security practitioners should review these references for exploit details and consider input sanitization or disabling CSV exports until remediation is confirmed.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.
Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.
Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).
PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.
