Code-Projects Hostel Management System Stack-Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Login Form component of Code-Projects Hostel Management System version 1.0. The issue arises in the hostel_manage.exe file, where the uname parameter can be manipulated to inject malicious code. This vulnerability requires local access to exploit.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to program crashes, data corruption, or allow attackers to execute arbitrary code by overwriting critical memory areas, potentially gaining unauthorized access to systems.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, local access to the affected version of Code-Projects Hostel Management System is required. Once the application is running, the vulnerability can be exploited by sending a crafted input through the uname parameter. This input should be designed to overflow the buffer, potentially allowing for arbitrary code execution.
