Code-Projects Modern Bag SQL Injection Vulnerability in Contact List Admin Page

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in version 1.0 of the Code-Projects Modern Bag project. The issue resides in the admin/contact-list.php file, where the idStatus parameter is manipulated to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without any authentication, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to the database, modify or delete data, and access sensitive information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, with potential consequences including unauthorized database access, data modification or deletion, access to sensitive information, and disruption of service.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a request to the admin/contact-list.php file with a crafted idStatus parameter that includes malicious SQL 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 use prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection, validate and filter user input, minimize database user permissions, and conduct regular security audits.
