PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal version 2.0. The issue arises in the search-result.php file, where the product parameter can be manipulated to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability allows attackers to interfere with the application's database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification.

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
