CVE-2026-4850
CVE-2026-4850: SQL Injection in Simple Laundry System
Executive Summary
CVE-2026-4850 is a high severity vulnerability affecting software systems. It is classified as SQL Injection. Ensure your systems and dependencies are patched immediately to mitigate exposure risks.
Precogs AI Insight
"Precogs AI detected this vulnerability pattern in SQL Injection implementations. The pattern deviates from documented secure coding standards, suggesting a high likelihood of exploitation if unpatched."
Summary
A high-severity SQL Injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-4850) has been identified in code-projects Simple Laundry System 1.0. The application directly concatenates user-controlled input into SQL queries without sanitization, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands (CWE-89).
Technical Details
The issue is classified under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command). The affected application constructs database queries using string concatenation with unvalidated user input, a pattern that remains the most prevalent web application vulnerability category.
When a malicious payload containing SQL metacharacters (e.g., ' OR '1'='1) is submitted through input fields, it alters the intended query logic, granting unauthorized access to the underlying database.
Exploitation Context
- Vector: Remote / Network-based
- Authentication: Not required
- Complexity: Low
- Impact: High (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability)
SQL Injection at this severity level allows attackers to extract entire database schemas, dump credential tables, and in some DBMS configurations, execute operating system commands via xp_cmdshell (MSSQL) or LOAD_FILE / INTO OUTFILE (MySQL).
Remediation
Developers and administrators should immediately:
- Replace all dynamic SQL query construction with parameterized queries or prepared statements (PDO in PHP, PreparedStatement in Java).
- Implement input validation using strict whitelists for expected data types (e.g., integers for IDs, alphanumeric for usernames).
- Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL Injection rulesets as a defense-in-depth layer while patching the underlying code.
Precogs AI Integration
The Precogs AI Code Security Platform automatically detects SQL Injection by performing inter-procedural taint analysis from HTTP input sources to database execution sinks. Precogs identifies string concatenation, template literal interpolation, and format string patterns used in query construction across PHP, Python, Java, Go, and Node.js codebases.
