CVE-2025-12378
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA security flaw has been discovered in code-projects Simple Food Ordering System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /addproduct.php. Performing manipulation of the argument photo results in unrestricted upload. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be exploited.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceUnrestricted file upload vulnerability in the Simple Food Ordering System 1.0's addproduct.php script. The 'photo' parameter accepts file uploads without proper server-side validation of file type, extension, or content, allowing attackers to upload malicious files (e.g., PHP web shells) that can be executed by the web server.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Fabian Simple Food Ordering System is installedSearch the web server for files named 'addproduct.php' or other application files typical of this ordering system. Check for product branding, footers, or version indicators in the application.Affected if The application files are found and the system is identified as Fabian Simple Food Ordering System version 1.0
-
Verify the addproduct.php script existsLocate the addproduct.php file in the web directory structure. This is the script referenced in the CVE as containing the vulnerable file upload functionality.Affected if The addproduct.php file is present in the web application's directory tree
-
Confirm file upload functionality is accessibleCheck if the web application has a product management or admin interface that provides access to the addproduct.php script. Verify the upload form with the 'photo' parameter exists and accepts file input.Affected if The file upload form with the 'photo' parameter is accessible and functional on the running application
-
Inspect server-side validation on uploadsReview the addproduct.php source code for any server-side validation of file type, extension, or MIME type. Look for functions that check uploaded file characteristics before saving.Affected if No server-side validation exists, or validation can be bypassed (e.g., only client-side checks, weak extension checks)
-
Check upload directory configurationExamine the web server configuration and application code to determine where uploaded files are stored. Verify if the upload directory is within the web root and accessible for direct execution.Affected if Uploaded files are stored within the web root and can be accessed and executed directly via URL
If the Fabian Simple Food Ordering System version 1.0 is installed with addproduct.php accessible and lacking proper server-side file validation, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2025-12378.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement strict server-side file validation using allowlists for permitted file extensions and MIME types, validate file content (magic bytes), store uploads outside the web root, and rename uploaded files to prevent direct execution.
