Campcodes Complaint Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability in Version 1.0

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Campcodes Complaint Management System version 1.0. The issue arises in the file '/admin/complaint-details.php', where insufficient validation of the 'cid' and 'uid' parameters allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data manipulation, and exposure of sensitive information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, which could lead to unauthorized database access, data modification or deletion, and exposure of sensitive information.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, log into the application with valid credentials to obtain a PHP session ID. Then, send a request to the '/admin/complaint-details.php' file, including the 'cid' or 'uid' parameter with crafted SQL injection payloads. The injection can be verified by observing the application's response or by using a tool like sqlmap to automate the exploitation.

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.
