1000projects Design and Development of Student Database Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in version 1.0 of the 1000projects Design & Development of Student Database Management System. The issue arises in the file '/TeacherLogin/Academics/SubjectDetails.php', where the 'SubCode' parameter is manipulated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data modification or deletion, and exposure of sensitive information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, enabling attackers to manipulate database queries. This could result in unauthorized access to database information, modification or deletion of data, and in some cases, execution of administrative operations on the database.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to '/TeacherLogin/Academics/SubjectDetails.php' with the 'SubCode' parameter. The injection can be verified using payloads that exploit boolean-based blind SQL injection or time-based blind SQL injection, such as adding a SQL injection payload that manipulates the query logic or introduces a delay in the response.

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.
