itsourcecode Online Tour and Travel Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability in Booking Report Admin Page

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the 'Online Tour and Travel Management System' version 1.0. The issue resides in the admin booking report file, specifically within the 'from_date' parameter. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data manipulation, and exposure of sensitive information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands, which could result in unauthorized data access, data modification or deletion, and in some cases, executing commands on the server with the database application's privileges.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to the '/admin/booking_report.php' file with a crafted 'from_date' 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.
