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 · unedited
A flaw has been found in SourceCodester Pizzafy Ecommerce System 1.0. The affected element is the function get_cart_count of the file /admin/ajax.php?action=get_cart_count. This manipulation of the argument ID causes sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been published and may 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 · moderate confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the get_cart_count function of /admin/ajax.php?action=get_cart_count in SourceCodester Pizzafy Ecommerce System 1.0. The ID parameter passed to this function is not properly sanitized, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries. This is a high-severity (CVSS 7.3) remote vulnerability with publicly available exploits.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database queries in the vulnerable function, apply proper input validation and sanitization on the ID parameter, and consider deploying a WAF rule as a temporary measure until the code fix is applied.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Pizzafy Ecommerce System installation
    Locate the web application's root directory and check for the presence of SourceCodester Pizzafy files, particularly /admin/ajax.php
    Affected if The application directory contains the pizzafy or ecommerce system files from SourceCodester
  2. Verify the vulnerable file exists
    Check if /admin/ajax.php exists in the web root
    Affected if The file /admin/ajax.php exists in the application directory
  3. Identify if get_cart_count function is present
    Open /admin/ajax.php and search for the function definition 'function get_cart_count' or the code block handling 'get_cart_count' action
    Affected if The file contains a get_cart_count function or action handler
  4. Check ID parameter handling in get_cart_count
    Examine the get_cart_count function code to see if the ID parameter is used directly in SQL queries without sanitization, prepared statements, or parameterized queries
    Affected if The ID parameter is concatenated directly into SQL queries without escaping, binding, or validation
  5. Verify application version
    Check version.php, README, or any version file in the application root for version number
    Affected if The installed version is 1.0 or falls within the affected range for this product

The environment is affected if the SourceCodester Pizzafy Ecommerce System 1.0 is installed, the /admin/ajax.php file contains a get_cart_count function that uses the ID parameter in unsanitized SQL queries.

Mitigation

Implement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all database queries in the vulnerable function, apply proper input validation and sanitization on the ID parameter, and consider deploying a WAF rule as a temporary measure until the code fix is applied.
