PHPGurukul Emergency Ambulance Hiring Portal SQL Injection Vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGurukul Emergency Ambulance Hiring Portal version 1.0. The issue resides in the file '/admin/bwdates-request-report-details.php', where the 'fromdate' and 'todate' parameters are manipulated to inject malicious SQL code. This unsanitized input is exploited to manipulate SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized database access and data manipulation.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries, bypassing authentication and authorization. This could result in unauthorized data access, data modification or deletion, and in some cases, executing administrative operations on the database.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to '/admin/bwdates-request-report-details.php' with crafted 'fromdate' and 'todate' parameters that include SQL injection payloads. This can be done using tools like sqlmap, which automates the process of finding and exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Remediation

It is recommended to validate and sanitize user inputs, particularly in date fields, to prevent SQL injection. Implementing prepared statements and parameterized queries can also help mitigate this vulnerability.
