PHPGurukul Old Age Home Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGurukul Old Age Home Management System version 1.0. The issue resides in the file '/admin/add-services.php', where the 'sertitle' parameter is manipulated, leading to unauthorized database access. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without any authentication, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries that could be used to access, modify, or delete database information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for unauthorized database access, potentially leading to data manipulation, unauthorized data access, and disruption of service.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to '/admin/add-services.php' with the 'sertitle' parameter. The request should include a payload that exploits the SQL injection, such as one that uses a time-based blind SQL injection technique, where the injected SQL query causes a delay in the response, indicating successful exploitation.

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.
