PHPGurukul Art Gallery Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGurukul Art Gallery Management System version 1.1. The issue resides in the file '/admin/edit-art-medium-detail.php', where the 'editid' parameter is manipulated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, with public knowledge of the exploit available.

Impact

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

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to '/admin/edit-art-medium-detail.php' with the 'editid' parameter. The request should include a payload that exploits the SQL injection, such as a time-based blind injection payload that uses the SQL 'SLEEP' function or a UNION-based injection payload that extracts data from the database.

Remediation

It is recommended to use prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection, validate and filter user input, and minimize database user permissions.
