Itsourcecode Student Transcript Processing System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in the Itsoucecode Student Transcript Processing System version 1.0. The issue resides in the file '/admin/modules/student/trans.php', where the 'studentId' and 'cid' parameters are manipulated to inject malicious SQL code. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to the database, leak sensitive information, tamper with data, and potentially disrupt services.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for unauthorized database access, manipulation of data, leakage of sensitive information, and disruption of services.

Reproduction

The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a request to '/admin/modules/student/trans.php' with the 'studentId' and 'cid' parameters. The injection can be performed using a time-based blind SQL injection payload or a UNION-based SQL injection payload, taking advantage of the application's lack of input validation.

Remediation

To address this vulnerability, 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.
