CVE-2026-7088
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 weakness has been identified in SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0. The affected element is an unknown function of the file /ajax.php?action=save_receiving. Executing a manipulation of the argument ID can lead to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
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 Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through the 'ID' parameter in /ajax.php?action=save_receiving. The lack of input sanitization or parameterized queries in the save_receiving function enables attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially extracting, modifying, or deleting sensitive pharmacy and inventory data.

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.
-
Confirm application installation and versionLocate the SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System installation. Check for version files, headers, or admin panels that display the version number. Compare against version 1.0.Affected if The installed version is 1.0 or if version cannot be determined but the application is the SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System.
-
Verify vulnerable endpoint existsCheck if the file ajax.php exists in the web application's root directory. This file typically handles AJAX requests including the save_receiving action.Affected if The ajax.php file exists and is web-accessible.
-
Confirm save_receiving action is definedInspect the ajax.php file source code to verify it contains a handler for the 'save_receiving' action. Look for function definitions handling this action parameter.Affected if The save_receiving action handler exists in ajax.php.
-
Verify ID parameter is used in database queryExamine the save_receiving function code to confirm it uses the ID parameter in raw SQL queries without prepared statements or input sanitization.Affected if The ID parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without parameterization or sanitization.
A user is affected if they are running SourceCodester Pharmacy Sales and Inventory System version 1.0 with the ajax.php endpoint accessible over the network and the save_receiving function handling the ID parameter 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 direct string concatenation in SQL queries with prepared statements/parameterized queries, implement input validation on all user-supplied parameters, and apply principle of least privilege to database accounts. Since a public exploit exists, prioritize patching immediately.
