PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in PHPGurukul Online Fire Reporting System version 1.2. The issue resides in the file '/admin/new-requests.php', where the 'teamid' parameter is manipulated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, with public knowledge of the exploit available.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows unauthorized access to the database, manipulation or deletion of data, and potential control over the system, disrupting services and posing a significant security risk.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a GET request to '/admin/new-requests.php' with a crafted 'teamid' parameter that includes malicious SQL payloads. This input is not properly sanitized, allowing the injection of SQL commands that could be executed by the database.

Remediation

It is recommended to use prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection. Additionally, input validation and filtering should be implemented to ensure that user input meets expected formats, blocking malicious data. Finally, database user permissions should be minimized, restricting access to only what is necessary.
