PHPGurukul Men Salon Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGurukul Men Salon Management System version 1.0. The issue resides in the '/admin/add-customer.php' file, where insufficient validation of the 'name' parameter allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, 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 the database, leakage of sensitive data, unauthorized data modification or deletion, and potentially executing administrative operations on the database.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to '/admin/add-customer.php' with a crafted 'name' parameter that includes malicious SQL payloads. This injection exploits the application's SQL query handling, taking advantage of the lack of proper input sanitization.

Remediation

To address this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement input validation and sanitization for the 'name' parameter to prevent SQL injection. Additionally, using prepared statements with parameterized queries can help mitigate this type of vulnerability by separating SQL logic from user input.
