Summary

CVE-2026-7228 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Sourcecodester (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 5.5 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 13.5th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-7228 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-89) in SourceCodester Pizzafy Ecommerce System 1.0. The flaw resides in the get_cart_count function within the file /admin/ajax.php?action=get_cart_count, where manipulation of the ID argument triggers the injection.

The vulnerability is remotely exploitable by unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction required (UI:N), earning a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). Exploitation enables limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and a public exploit is available for use.

Advisories on VulDB (including vuln/359828 and related CTI) and a GitHub submission in fernando-mengali/vulndb-submissions detail the SQL injection, its proof-of-concept, and remote attack vector, but do not specify patches or vendor-provided mitigations. The SourceCodester website is referenced as the software source.

The published exploit raises the risk of real-world abuse against unpatched instances of this ecommerce system.
