CVE-2026-14747: SQL Injection in code-projects Real State Services 1.0

Technical summary

CVE-2026-14747 is a network-accessible SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89, CWE-74) in code-projects Real State Services 1.0. The vulnerability exists in the /addprojectsale.php endpoint where the 'amen' parameter is processed without sufficient input sanitization or parameterized query protection. The attack vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, indicating network accessibility, no special access privileges required, and potential impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the underlying database. Exploitation does not require user interaction.

Business impact

Organizations running Real State Services 1.0 face direct risk to sensitive real estate transaction data, including property details, client information, and financial records stored in the application database. A successful attack could result in unauthorized data disclosure, modification of property records or sales information, denial of service through database manipulation, and potential regulatory exposure if client personal data is compromised. Real estate firms may also face reputational damage and operational disruption if property listings or transaction history are corrupted.

Affected systems

The vulnerability affects code-projects Real State Services version 1.0. The /addprojectsale.php file is the attack surface. Organizations using this application in production environments are at risk if they have not applied vendor patches or implemented compensating controls.

Exploitability

This vulnerability is highly exploitable. It requires no authentication, no special user privileges, and no user interaction—an attacker can craft a malicious HTTP request from anywhere on the network targeting the vulnerable endpoint. The CVSS score of 7.3 (HIGH) reflects the combination of network accessibility and low attack complexity. No special tools beyond basic SQL injection techniques are required to attempt exploitation.

Remediation

Immediately patch code-projects Real State Services to the latest available version per the vendor's security advisory (verify patch version against official vendor guidance). As an interim measure if patching is delayed, implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection payloads targeting /addprojectsale.php, restrict network access to this application component to trusted networks only, and enforce principle of least privilege on database user accounts. Database query parameterization and prepared statements should be used throughout the application to prevent SQL injection.

Patch guidance

Consult the official code-projects security advisory for the specific patch version addressing CVE-2026-14747. Apply patches to all instances of Real State Services 1.0 in production, staging, and development environments. Verify patch application by confirming the updated version number post-deployment. Test the patched application thoroughly before full production rollout to ensure compatibility with existing configurations and integrations.

Detection guidance

Monitor for suspicious HTTP POST/GET requests to /addprojectsale.php containing SQL keywords or encoded payloads in the 'amen' parameter (e.g., UNION SELECT, OR 1=1, comment sequences). Examine application and database logs for unusual SQL queries, failed database operations, or unexpected data access patterns. Implement SIEM rules to flag SQL injection attempt signatures. Network-based intrusion detection should alert on SQL injection patterns. Database activity monitoring can reveal unauthorized schema queries or data exfiltration attempts following successful exploitation.

Why prioritize this

This vulnerability merits urgent remediation due to its high CVSS score (7.3), lack of authentication requirements, network accessibility, and direct impact to data confidentiality and integrity. Real estate data contains sensitive client and financial information, making unauthorized access or manipulation particularly damaging. The exploit is trivial to execute, requiring only basic SQL injection knowledge. Organizations should treat this as a priority patch candidate immediately after validation.

Risk score, explained

The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.3 (HIGH) reflects: Network-accessible attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity requiring no special conditions (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction needed (UI:N), and limited impact scope (S:U). The vulnerability affects confidentiality (data read), integrity (data modification), and availability (potential denial of service) of the database, each scored as low impact. The combination of ease of exploitation and multi-faceted data compromise justifies the HIGH severity classification.
