Exploitability
| 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. |
| CWE-74 | The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2026-10261 is a SQL injection vulnerability found in the CodeAstro Online Job Portal 1.0, specifically in the file /users/application_status.php. The flaw occurs due to improper input validation of the 'id' parameter, which allows an attacker to manipulate this argument to inject malicious SQL queries remotely without needing authentication.
This vulnerability enables attackers to execute various SQL injection techniques such as boolean-based blind, error-based, stacked queries, and time-based blind attacks.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to the database, allowing attackers to tamper with data, leak sensitive information, gain control over the system, and disrupt services.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The SQL injection vulnerability in CodeAstro Online Job Portal 1.0 can lead to unauthorized database access, data tampering, and sensitive information leakage. Such impacts can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of personal and sensitive data.
This type of vulnerability can negatively affect compliance with common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require protection of personal data and sensitive health information against unauthorized access and breaches.
Failure to address this vulnerability could result in violations of these regulations, potentially leading to legal penalties, loss of trust, and damage to the organization's reputation.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'id' parameter in the /users/application_status.php file for SQL injection flaws. Various SQL injection techniques such as boolean-based blind, error-based, stacked queries, and time-based blind can be used to verify the presence of the vulnerability.
Common commands to detect this vulnerability include using tools like sqlmap or manual injection attempts with payloads targeting the 'id' parameter. For example, using sqlmap:
- sqlmap -u "http://target.com/users/application_status.php?id=1" --batch --dbs
- Manually testing with payloads such as '1' OR '1'='1' -- to check for SQL injection responses.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include:
- Implement prepared statements to safely handle the 'id' parameter and prevent SQL injection.
- Apply strict input validation and sanitization on all user inputs, especially the 'id' parameter.
- Minimize database permissions to limit the impact of a potential exploit.
- Conduct regular security audits and code reviews to identify and fix similar vulnerabilities.
