Code-Projects Church Donation System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Code-Projects Church Donation System version 1.0. The issue resides in the '/members/edit_Members.php' file, where the 'fname' parameter is manipulated to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without any authentication, allowing attackers to access, modify, or delete database information. The lack of proper input validation and sanitization is the root cause, enabling unauthorized SQL query manipulation.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for unauthorized database access, data modification or deletion, leakage of sensitive information, and potential disruption of services.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to the '/members/edit_Members.php' endpoint with the 'fname' parameter crafted to include a malicious SQL payload. This injected SQL is then executed by the application, exploiting the vulnerability.

Remediation

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