CVE-2026-4615
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 vulnerability was identified in SourceCodester Online Catering Reservation 1.0. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /search.php. Such manipulation of the argument rcode leads to sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in SourceCodester Online Catering Reservation 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the rcode parameter in /search.php. The lack of input sanitization or parameterized queries on the rcode argument enables attackers to manipulate database queries.

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 SourceCodester Online Catering Reservation is installedLocate the web application's installation directory and check for files typical to this application, such as search.php, or check the application's banner/version information if accessibleAffected if The application SourceCodester Online Catering Reservation version 1.0 is present in the environment
-
Verify the vulnerable search.php file existsLocate the search.php file within the web application's directory structureAffected if search.php exists in the application root or typical PHP location
-
Inspect search.php for rcode parameter usageOpen search.php and search for references to the 'rcode' parameter in $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST superglobalsAffected if The file processes the rcode parameter without sanitization
-
Check if parameterized queries are implementedExamine the database query code in search.php for use of prepared statements, bindParam, bindValue, or parameterized query functionsAffected if The rcode parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without using prepared statements or input sanitization functions such as htmlspecialchars, mysqli_real_escape_string, or PDO quote
-
Test the rcode parameter for SQL injectionSubmit a benign SQL injection test payload via the rcode parameter (for example, ' OR '1'='1) to the search.php endpoint and observe the response for SQL errors or unexpected behaviorAffected if The application returns SQL syntax errors or executes the injected logic, confirming the vulnerability
The environment is affected if SourceCodester Online Catering Reservation 1.0 is installed and search.php processes the rcode parameter using direct SQL concatenation without parameterized queries.

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 dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with prepared statements/parameterized queries in search.php, implement strict input validation on the rcode parameter, and apply principle of least privilege to the database user.
