Code-Projects Online Medicine Guide SQL Injection Vulnerability in Cart Index PHP

A critical SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in version 1.0 of the Code-Projects Online Medicine Guide. The issue resides in the '/cart/index.php' file, where the 'uname' 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 unauthorized database access through SQL injection, enabling attackers to manipulate database queries and potentially access, modify, or delete sensitive information.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to '/cart/index.php' with the 'uname' parameter. The injection can be crafted using either error-based or time-based blind SQL injection techniques, taking advantage of the application's SQL query handling.

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.
