PHPGurukul Park Ticketing Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGurukul Park Ticketing Management System version 2.0. The issue arises in the file '/view-normal-ticket.php', where the 'viewid' parameter is manipulated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data manipulation, and disruption of services.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for unauthorized database access, data leakage, manipulation or deletion of data, and could result in complete control over the system, disrupting services and business operations.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a GET request to the '/ptms/view-normal-ticket.php' endpoint with a crafted 'viewid' parameter. The injected SQL payload can be tailored to exploit the application's SQL query handling, such as bypassing authentication or accessing sensitive data.

Remediation

To address this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement prepared statements and parameter binding to separate SQL code from user input, conduct thorough input validation and filtering, and minimize database user permissions to the least required.
