CVE-2026-4532 is a medium-severity Forced Browsing (CWE-425) vulnerability in Carmelo Simple Food Order System. Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data from Local System (T1005); ranked at the 37th 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 AC-24 (Access Control Decisions) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-4532 is a security vulnerability in the code-projects Simple Food Ordering System up to version 1.0, affecting an unknown functionality of the file /food/sql/food.sql within the Database Backup Handler component. The manipulation leads to files or directories accessible, corresponding to CWE-425 (Direct Request ('Forced Browsing')) and CWE-552 (Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties). It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) and was published on 2026-03-22.
The vulnerability enables remote exploitation by unauthenticated attackers requiring low attack complexity and no user interaction. Attackers can achieve limited disclosure of confidential information, such as access to files or directories, without affecting integrity or availability.
Advisories, including those from VulDB, recommend changing configuration settings to mitigate the issue. References such as the project's site, a GitHub repository detailing the information disclosure, and VulDB entries confirm the vulnerability details.
The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be used, increasing the risk for unpatched instances of the affected software.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
AC-3 directly requires enforcement of authorizations for access to resources such as URLs, scripts, and files, structurally preventing forced browsing.
AC-24 requires that access-control decisions be applied to every request, addressing the missing enforcement on restricted URLs.
AC-6 limits granted privileges, reducing the chance that files or directories become reachable by external parties.
AC-4 enforces information flow rules that can block unauthorized external access to files or directories.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
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.
Directly requires policy-driven definition, enforcement, and review of authorizations on resources such as URLs.
Protects environments from unauthorized logical access, which includes preventing direct requests to restricted paths.
Data-at-rest protections such as encryption or ACLs reduce the impact of unintended file exposure.
Hardened configuration baselines commonly include file-system permission settings that limit external access.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security testing can detect forced-browsing flaws, but the control itself does not prevent them in production.
Information access restriction implements the technical enforcement that directly blocks unauthorized direct requests.
By tracing and retrieving all copies of information stored on endpoint and portable devices, the control reduces the likelihood that files remain accessible outside the organization’s security perimeter.
Labeling information according to its sensitivity and specifying corresponding protection measures makes it less probable that files or directories containing sensitive content will be left accessible to external parties.
Access control policy directly requires authorization checks on all resources, preventing forced browsing.
Managing access rights ensures every URL/script/file is explicitly authorized, mitigating direct request attacks.
