Summary

CVE-2026-33148 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Tandoor Recipes. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Application or System Exploitation (T1499.004); 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 SC-5 (Denial-of-service Protection) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

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…

more

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.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.
Why these techniques?

Parameter injection enables direct application crashes resulting in DoS via exploitation.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Requires validation and encoding of the user-supplied query parameter before URL interpolation, directly blocking the parameter-injection vector that leads to API-key override and DoS.

prevent

Mandates protection mechanisms that limit the impact of malformed upstream requests, preventing the crafted query strings from causing server crashes (HTTP 500).

prevent

Ensures graceful error handling for invalid inputs instead of allowing unencoded query values to trigger unhandled exceptions and service-denial conditions.
