Code-Projects Online Shoe Store SQL Injection Vulnerability in Admin Running File

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in version 1.0 of the Code-Projects Online Shoe Store. The issue resides in the '/admin/admin_running.php' file, where the 'MULTIPART qty' parameter is manipulated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, posing a significant risk to database security and integrity.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows unauthorized database access, manipulation of data, leakage of sensitive information, and potential disruption of services.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a POST request to '/admin/admin_running.php' with the 'MULTIPART qty' parameter. Inject a payload that exploits time-based blind SQL injection, such as one that uses the SQL 'SLEEP' function to delay the response. This indicates that the injection was successful and the application is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.

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.
