CWE ID Description
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

The vulnerability is a Blind SQL Injection in the phpgurukul Student Management System 1.0, specifically in the search functionality at the endpoint /studentms/admin/search.php via the searchdata parameter.

This occurs because the searchdata parameter does not properly sanitize user input, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL queries.

Exploiting this flaw can enable an attacker to access the database without authorization and retrieve sensitive information.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by testing the `searchdata` parameter in the POST request to `/studentms/admin/search.php` for SQL Injection.

A Proof of Concept involves sending a crafted POST request with the `searchdata` parameter and analyzing the response for SQL Injection behavior.

One suggested command to detect and exploit this vulnerability is using the SQL injection tool sqlmap with a saved request file.

  • Save the POST request to a file, for example `req.txt`.
  • Run the command: `sqlmap -r req.txt --dbs --random-agent --level 3 --risk 3`

This command will test the request for SQL Injection and attempt to enumerate the databases if the vulnerability exists.
