itsourcecode Online Tour and Travel Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability in Forget Password Function

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Online Tour and Travel Management System. The issue resides in the '/user/forget_password.php' file, where insufficient validation of the 'email' parameter allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without any authentication, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data manipulation, and exposure of sensitive information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, which could be used to access, modify, or delete database information. Such actions could disrupt service and compromise system security.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to '/user/forget_password.php' with an injected SQL payload in the 'email' parameter. Several types of SQL injection payloads can be used, including boolean-based blind, error-based, time-based blind, and stacked queries.

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.
