PHPGurukul Student Record System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGurukul Student Record System version 3.20. The issue arises in the change-password.php file, where the currentpassword parameter is susceptible to injection attacks.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, where an attacker can manipulate database queries. This could lead to unauthorized data access, data manipulation, or in some cases, executing administrative operations on the database.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a crafted request to change-password.php with a payload that injects SQL code into the currentpassword parameter. An error-based SQL injection exploit, such as one that triggers a MySQL error, can be used to demonstrate the vulnerability.
