Kashipara Responsive Online Learning Platform SQL Injection Vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Kashipara Responsive Online Learning Platform version 1.0. The issue resides in the file '/courses/course_detail_user_new.php', where the 'id' parameter is manipulated to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without any authentication, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to the database, leak sensitive data, tamper with information, and potentially disrupt services.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for unauthorized database access, manipulation of data, leakage of sensitive information, and could lead to a complete compromise of the system.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a request to the 'course_detail_user_new.php' file with an injected 'id' parameter. Various payloads can be used to exploit the SQL injection, such as boolean-based blind injections, error-based injections, time-based blind injections, and UNION query injections. These payloads can be crafted using SQL injection techniques to manipulate the application's database queries and extract or modify data.

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.
