Code-Projects School Fees Payment System SQL Injection Vulnerability in student.php

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in version 1.0 of the Code-Projects School Fees Payment System. The issue arises in the student.php file, where the 'id' parameter is manipulated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without any authentication, leading to unauthorized database access, data modification or deletion, and exposure of sensitive information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for unauthorized access to the database, manipulation or deletion of data, and access to sensitive information. Such actions pose a significant threat to the overall security of the system and the integrity of its data.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a GET request to student.php with the action parameter set to 'delete' and the id parameter containing a crafted SQL payload. This payload should exploit the application's SQL query handling by injecting malicious SQL code that is executed by the database.
