Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-26156 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) affecting the /shopping/track-orders.php component in PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal version 2.1. Published on 2025-02-14, it enables remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by injecting malicious payloads via the orderid parameter in a POST request. The issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting its high severity due to network accessibility, low complexity, and significant impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Exploitation requires low privileges (PR:L) and can be performed remotely over the network without user interaction. An attacker could send a crafted POST request to the vulnerable endpoint, allowing arbitrary code execution on the affected system, which could lead to full compromise including data exfiltration, modification, or disruption of services.
