The issue resides in the file '/admin/view-appointment.php', where the 'viewid' parameter is manipulated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without any authentication, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data modification or deletion, and exposure of sensitive information.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, where attackers can manipulate database queries. This could lead to unauthorized data access, data modification or deletion, and in some cases, executing administrative operations on the database.

Reproduction
