A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Campcodes Online Learning Management System version 1.0. The issue resides in the admin/school_year.php file, where the school_year parameter is manipulated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without any authentication.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows unauthorized access to the database, where attackers can read, modify, or delete data. Additionally, it could lead to execution of administrative operations on the database, and in some cases, allow for execution of commands on the server, depending on the application's database interaction.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to the admin/school_year.php file with a crafted school_year parameter that includes SQL injection payloads. This can be done using tools like sqlmap, which automates the process of finding and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Remediation

It is recommended to use prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection, validate and filter user input, minimize database user permissions, and conduct regular security audits.
