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.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have serious impacts including unauthorized access to sensitive database information. Because attackers can extract data without authentication, it can lead to data breaches, exposure of confidential information, and potential compromise of the website's integrity.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in News Website Script version 2.0.5 and is an SQL injection flaw. It allows attackers who are not authenticated to manipulate database queries by injecting malicious SQL code through the news ID parameter.

Attackers can exploit this by sending specially crafted GET requests to the endpoint index.php/show/news/ with SQL statements embedded, which can lead to unauthorized extraction of sensitive information from the database.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection attacks to extract sensitive database information. This exposure of sensitive data can lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA, which require the protection of personal and sensitive information from unauthorized access.

By enabling attackers to access sensitive data without authorization, the vulnerability increases the risk of data breaches, which can result in legal penalties, reputational damage, and failure to meet regulatory requirements.
