Fixes#4317
- Add csv_import_invalid_location to Items.php for CSV import validation
- Add error_deleting_admin and error_updating_admin to Employees.php for admin protection messages
Strings added with empty values so they fallback to English and show as untranslated in Weblate.
The bulk edit function iterated over all $_POST keys without a whitelist,
allowing authenticated users to inject arbitrary database columns (e.g.,
cost_price, deleted, item_type) into the update query. This bypassed
CodeIgniter 4's $allowedFields protection since Query Builder was used
directly.
Fix: Add ALLOWED_BULK_EDIT_FIELDS constant to Item model defining the
explicit whitelist of fields that can be bulk-updated. Use this constant
in the controller instead of iterating over $_POST directly.
Fields allowed: name, category, supplier_id, cost_price, unit_price,
reorder_level, description, allow_alt_description, is_serialized
Security impact: High (CVSS 8.1) - Could allow price manipulation and
data integrity violations.
The previous SQL injection fix (GHSA-hmjv-wm3j-pfhw) used named parameter
syntax :search: with having(), but CodeIgniter 4's having() method does
not support named parameters. This caused the query to fail.
The fix uses havingLike() which properly:
- Escapes the search value to prevent SQL injection
- Handles the LIKE clause construction internally (wraps value with %)
- Works correctly with HAVING clauses for aggregated columns
This maintains the security fix while actually working on CI4.
When localization uses dot (.) as thousands separator (e.g., it_IT, es_ES, pt_PT),
the payment_amount value was displayed as raw float (e.g., '10.50') but parsed
using parse_decimals() which expects locale-formatted numbers.
In these locales, '.' is thousands separator and ',' is decimal separator.
parse_decimals('10.50') would return false, causing the condition
!= 0 to evaluate incorrectly (false == 0 in PHP),
resulting in the payment being deleted instead of updated.
Fix: Use to_currency_no_money() to format payment_amount and cash_refund
values according to locale before displaying in the form, so parse_decimals()
can correctly parse them on submission.
Modified definition_values() function in app/Views/attributes/item.php to properly handle checkbox attributes.
The issue was that checkbox attributes have two input elements (hidden and checkbox) with the same name pattern. When collecting attribute values during the refresh operation, both inputs were being processed, with the hidden input potentially overwriting the checkbox state.
Changes:
- Skip hidden inputs that have a corresponding checkbox input
- For checkbox inputs, explicitly capture the checked state using prop('checked')
- Convert checked state to '1' or '0' for consistency
This ensures that when adding another attribute to an item, existing checkbox states are preserved correctly.
1. Stock Location XSS (GHSA-7hg5-68rx-xpmg):
- Stock location names were rendered unescaped in employee form
- Malicious stock locations could contain XSS payloads that execute
when viewing employee permissions
- Fixed by adding esc() to permission display in employees/form.php
2. Customer Name XSS (GHSA-hcfr-9hfv-mcwp):
- Bootstrap-table columns had escape disabled for customer_name,
email, phone_number, and note fields
- Malicious customer names could execute XSS in Daily Sales view
- Fixed by removing user-controlled fields from escape exception list
- Only 'edit', 'messages', and 'item_pic' remain in exception list
(these contain safe server-generated HTML)
Both vulnerabilities allow authenticated attackers with basic permissions
to inject JavaScript that executes in admin/other user sessions.
GHSA-q58g-gg7v-f9rf: Stored XSS via Item Description
Security Impact:
- Authenticated users with item management permission can inject XSS payloads
- Payloads execute in POS register view (sales and receivings)
- Can steal session cookies, perform CSRF attacks, or compromise POS operations
Root Cause:
1. Input: Items.php:614 accepts description without sanitization
2. Output: register.php:255 and receiving.php:220 echo description without escaping
Fix Applied:
- Input sanitization: Added FILTER_SANITIZE_FULL_SPECIAL_CHARS to description POST
- Output escaping: Added esc() wrapper when echoing item descriptions
- Defense-in-depth approach: sanitize on input, escape on output
Files Changed:
- app/Controllers/Items.php - Sanitize description on save
- app/Views/sales/register.php - Escape description on display
- app/Views/receivings/receiving.php - Escape description on display
Testing:
- XSS payloads like '<script>alert(1)</script>' are now sanitized on input
- Any existing malicious descriptions are escaped on output
- Does not break legitimate descriptions with special characters
Parameterize LIKE queries in HAVING clause to prevent SQL injection
when search_custom filter is enabled. Also sanitize search parameter
input at controller level for defense-in-depth.
Fixes vulnerability where user input was directly interpolated into
SQL queries without sanitization.
- Move admin modules list from is_admin method to ADMIN_MODULES constant
- Rename is_admin() to isAdmin() following CodeIgniter naming conventions
- Rename can_modify_employee() to canModifyEmployee() following conventions
- Update all callers in Employees controller and tests
This migration will:
- Scan all items for filenames containing spaces
- Rename both original and thumbnail files on the filesystem
- Update database records with sanitized filenames
- Only process files that actually exist on the filesystem
When uploading item images with filenames containing spaces, the thumbnails fail to load due to Apache mod_rewrite rejecting URLs with spaces.
Changes:
- Modified upload_image() method to sanitize filenames by replacing spaces and special characters with underscores
- Uses regex to keep only alphanumeric, underscores, hyphens, and periods
- Preserves original filename in 'orig_name' field for reference
- Fixes issue where thumbnail URLs would fail with 'AH10411: Rewritten query string contains control characters or spaces'
Example: 'banana marsmellow.jpg' becomes 'banana_marsmellow.jpg'
Fixes: #4372

* Fix second-order SQL injection in currency_symbol config
The currency_symbol value was concatenated directly into SQL queries
without proper escaping, allowing SQL injection attacks via the
Summary Discounts report.
Changes:
- Use $this->db->escape() in Summary_discounts::getData() to properly
escape the currency symbol value before concatenation
- Add htmlspecialchars() validation in Config::postSaveLocale() to
sanitize the input at storage time
- Add unit tests to verify escaping of malicious inputs
Fixes SQL injection vulnerability described in bug report where
attackers with config permissions could inject arbitrary SQL through
the currency_symbol field.
* Update test to use CIUnitTestCase for consistency
Per code review feedback, updated test to extend CIUnitTestCase
instead of PHPUnit TestCase to maintain consistency with other
tests in the codebase.

The round_number() method signature declares $amount as string, but the
HALF_FIVE case and other rounding operations pass string values to round()
and other arithmetic operations which expect numeric types. This causes
type errors when strict type checking is enabled.
Fix by casting $amount to float before arithmetic operations in both
migration files:
- 20170502221506_sales_tax_data.php (line 268)
- 20200202000000_taxamount.php (line 244)
Also cast sale_tax_amount to float in round_sales_taxes() method before
passing to round() operations (lines 381 in sales_tax_data.php and 358 in
taxamount.php).
Fixes#4324

Fix critical password validation bypass and add unit tests
This commit addresses a critical security vulnerability where the password
minimum length check was performed on the HASHED password (always 60
characters for bcrypt) instead of the actual password before hashing.
Vulnerability Details:
- Original code: strlen($employee_data['password']) >= 8
- This compared the hash length (always 60) instead of raw password
- Impact: Users could set 1-character passwords like "a"
- Severity: Critical (enables brute force attacks on weak passwords)
- CVE-like issue: CWE-307 (Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts)
Fix Applied:
- Validate password length BEFORE hashing
- Clear error message when password is too short
- Added unit tests to verify minimum length enforcement
- Regression test to prevent future vulnerability re-introduction
Test Coverage:
- testPasswordMinLength_Rejects7Characters: Verify 7 chars rejected
- testPasswordMinLength_Accepts8Characters: Verify 8 chars accepted
- testPasswordMinLength_RejectsEmptyString: Verify empty rejected
- testPasswordMinLength_RejectsWhitespaceOnly: Verify whitespace rejected
- testPasswordMinLength_AcceptsSpecialCharacters: Verify special chars OK
- testPasswordMinLength_RejectsPreviousBehavior: Regression test for bug
Files Modified:
- app/Controllers/Home.php: Fixed password validation logic
- tests/Controllers/HomeTest.php: Added comprehensive unit tests
Security Impact:
- Enforces 8-character minimum password policy
- Prevents extremely weak passwords that facilitate brute-force attacks
- Critical for credential security and user account protection
Breaking Changes:
- Users with passwords < 8 characters will need to reset their password
- This is the intended security improvement
Severity: Critical
CVSS Score: ~7.5
CWE: CWE-305 (Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness), CWE-307
Add GitHub Actions workflow to run PHPUnit tests
Move business logic from views to controllers for better separation of concerns
- Move logo URL computation from info_config view to Config::getIndex()
- Move image base64 encoding from receipt_email view to Sales controller
- Improves separation of concerns by keeping business logic in controllers
- Simplifies view templates to only handle presentation
Fix XSS vulnerabilities in report views - escape user-controllable summary data and labels
Fix base64 encoding URL issue in delete payment - properly URL encode base64 string
Fix remaining return type declarations for Sales controller
Fixed additional methods that call _reload():
- postAdd() - returns _reload($data)
- postAddPayment() - returns _reload($data)
- postEditItem() - returns _reload($data)
- postSuspend() - returns _reload($data)
- postSetPaymentType() - returns _reload()
All methods now return ResponseInterface|string to match _reload() signature.
This resolves PHP TypeError errors.
The redirect() in constructor returned a RedirectResponse that was never executed, allowing unauthorized access to report submodules. Replaced with header() + exit() to enforce permission checks.
