CVE-2026-30531
SQLi in Oretnom23 Online Food Ordering System 1.0
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/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-2026-30531 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Oretnom23 Online Food Ordering System. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 38th 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.

CVE-2026-30531 is a SQL injection vulnerability in SourceCodester Online Food Ordering System v1.0, published on 2026-03-27. The flaw exists in the Actions.php file, specifically the save_category action, where the application fails to properly sanitize user input supplied to the "name" parameter. This allows an authenticated attacker to inject malicious SQL commands, as classified under CWE-89, with 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).
An attacker with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction required (UI:N). Successful exploitation enables injection of arbitrary SQL commands, potentially resulting in high impacts to confidentiality (C:H), integrity (I:H), and availability (A:H), such as unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion within the application's database.
A proof-of-concept demonstrating the SQL injection in the save_category action via the "name" parameter is available at https://github.com/meifukun/Web-Security-PoCs/blob/main/Online-Food-Ordering-System/SQLi-Actions-saveCategory-name.md. No official advisories or patches are detailed in the provided references.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from reaching SQL query construction without neutralization.
Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.
System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

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.
Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.
Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.
Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.
Secure-coding rules and security testing phases mandate the use of parameterized queries or equivalent escaping, preventing the construction of dynamic SQL statements from untrusted input.
Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.
