PHPGurukul Human Metapneumovirus Testing Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGurukul's Human Metapneumovirus Testing Management System version 1.0. The issue arises in the file '/profile.php', where the 'aid', 'adminname', 'mobilenumber', and 'email' parameters are not properly sanitized, allowing for direct execution of SQL injection attacks. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely.

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

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a request to the '/profile.php' file with the 'mobilenumber' parameter. The value of this parameter can be crafted to exploit the SQL injection vulnerability, taking advantage of the application's failure to properly sanitize user input before executing database queries.

Remediation

It is recommended to use prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection. Regular security audits should also be conducted to identify and fix potential vulnerabilities.
