Code-Projects Simple Laundry System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Code-Projects Simple Laundry System version 1.0. The issue resides in the '/checklogin.php' file within the Parameters Handler component. The vulnerability is triggered by manipulating the 'userName' parameter, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. This injection can be executed 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, with potential consequences including unauthorized database access, data manipulation, and access to sensitive information.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a POST request to '/checklogin.php' with a crafted 'userName' 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.
