PHPGURUKUL Vehicle Parking Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGURUKUL Vehicle Parking Management System version 1.13, specifically in the login.php file within the users directory. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through the 'emailcont' parameter, which are then executed without proper validation or sanitization. As a result, attackers could gain unauthorized access to the database, manipulate or delete data, and access sensitive information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized database access, allowing attackers to leak, modify, or delete data. Additionally, it could enable them to gain extensive control over the system or disrupt services, posing a significant risk to both system security and business operations.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a POST request to '/vpms/users/login.php' with the 'emailcont' parameter. The injection can be crafted using various payloads, such as boolean-based blind injections or error-based injections, taking advantage of the application's SQL query handling.

Remediation

To address this vulnerability, 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.
