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.
