CodeAstro Real Estate Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in CodeAstro Real Estate Management System version 1.0. The issue resides in the administrator endpoint file '/admin/stateadd.php'. This vulnerability allows an attacker with access to the admin panel to manipulate SQL queries by sending malicious input, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification.

Impact

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

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, log into the admin panel of CodeAstro Real Estate Management System version 1.0. Navigate to the 'stateadd.php' file within the 'admin' directory. Once there, send a POST request including a crafted 'state' parameter that exploits the SQL query handling. This can be done using a tool like SQLMap, targeting the 'state' parameter to demonstrate the injection.
