PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System version 1.13. The issue resides in the file '/admin/admin-profile.php', where the 'contactnumber' parameter is manipulated to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to the database, manipulate or delete data, and disrupt services.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for unauthorized database access, data manipulation or deletion, and potential disruption of services.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to '/vpms/admin/admin-profile.php' with the 'contactnumber' parameter. The injected SQL payload can be crafted to exploit the time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability, such as by using a payload that includes a SQL injection query that causes the database to pause execution for a specified period.

Remediation

To address this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection, conduct thorough input validation and filtering, and minimize database user permissions.
