CVE-2026-7268
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 has been found in SourceCodester Pizzafy Ecommerce System 1.0. This impacts the function save_category of the file /admin/ajax.php?action=save_category. Such manipulation of the argument Name leads to sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed to the public 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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in the save_category function of /admin/ajax.php?action=save_category allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the Name parameter.

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.
-
Verify the affected ajax.php endpoint existsCheck if /admin/ajax.php file exists in the web root directory and is accessible via HTTPAffected if The file exists and is web-accessible at /admin/ajax.php
-
Confirm save_category action is implementedSearch the ajax.php file for 'save_category' function definition or case handlerAffected if The save_category action is present in the code without proper SQL injection protections
-
Inspect how the Name parameter is handled in save_categoryExamine the save_category function code to see if the Name parameter is directly concatenated into an SQL query without prepared statements, parameter binding, or input sanitizationAffected if The Name parameter is used directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries or proper escaping
-
Test for SQL injection vulnerabilitySend a crafted request to /admin/ajax.php?action=save_category with a Name parameter containing SQL injection payloads (e.g., "test' OR '1'='1") and observe the response for SQL errors or unexpected behaviorAffected if The application returns SQL syntax errors or exhibits unexpected behavior indicating injection is possible
-
Check if input validation or escaping is implementedReview the codebase for input validation functions, sanitization routines, or use of parameterized queries for the Name parameter in save_categoryAffected if No input validation, escaping, or prepared statements are found for the Name parameter
The environment is affected if the /admin/ajax.php file exists with a save_category action that uses the Name parameter directly in SQL queries without prepared statements, parameter binding, or proper input sanitization.

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 query construction with prepared statements/parameterized queries, or implement proper input validation and escaping for the Name parameter before executing database queries.
