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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw found in the Class and Exam Timetabling System version 1.0, specifically in the /archive5.php file. It occurs because the 'sy' parameter is not properly validated, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL queries remotely without needing authentication.

Attackers can exploit this vulnerability using techniques like boolean-based blind or error-based SQL injection to manipulate the database.

Impact Analysis

Exploiting this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to the database, allowing attackers to manipulate data, leak sensitive information, compromise the system, or disrupt services.

Detection Guidance

This SQL injection vulnerability in the /archive5.php file can be detected by testing the 'sy' parameter for SQL injection flaws using boolean-based blind or error-based SQL injection techniques.

Common detection methods include sending crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable parameter and observing the responses for SQL errors or behavioral changes.

  • Use curl or similar tools to send test payloads, for example: curl "http://target/archive5.php?sy=1' OR '1'='1"
  • Use sqlmap to automate detection: sqlmap -u "http://target/archive5.php?sy=1" --batch
Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing prepared statements with parameter binding to prevent SQL injection.

Additionally, apply strict input validation on the 'sy' parameter to ensure only expected values are accepted.

Minimize database user permissions to limit the impact of a potential exploit.

Conduct regular security audits and update the software to the latest patched version once available.

Compliance Impact

The SQL injection vulnerability in the Class and Exam Timetabling System allows unauthorized database access, data manipulation, and sensitive information leakage. Such unauthorized access and potential exposure of sensitive data can lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require safeguarding personal and sensitive information against unauthorized access and breaches.

Failure to address this vulnerability could result in violations of confidentiality, integrity, and availability principles mandated by these standards, potentially leading to legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of trust.
