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 /archive3.php file. It occurs because the 'sy' parameter is not properly validated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries directly into the database.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely without authentication, potentially gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data, manipulating or tampering with the database, and possibly taking control of the entire system.

Impact Analysis

Exploiting this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information stored in the database, data tampering, and potentially full system compromise.

  • Data leakage of confidential information.
  • Manipulation or deletion of database records.
  • Complete control over the affected system by attackers.

These impacts can disrupt normal operations, cause data breaches, and lead to significant security and privacy issues.

Detection Guidance

This SQL injection vulnerability in the /archive3.php file can be detected by testing the 'sy' parameter for SQL injection flaws.

One common method is to use automated SQL injection testing tools such as sqlmap to verify if the parameter is vulnerable.

  • Example sqlmap command: sqlmap -u "http://targetsite/archive3.php?sy=1" --batch --dbs
  • This command attempts to inject SQL payloads into the 'sy' parameter and enumerate the databases if vulnerable.
Mitigation Strategies

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

Additionally, strict input validation should be enforced on the 'sy' parameter to ensure only expected input is processed.

Minimizing database user permissions to limit the impact of a potential exploit is also recommended.

Conducting regular security audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities proactively is advised.

Compliance Impact

The SQL injection vulnerability in the Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0 allows unauthorized access to sensitive data, data tampering, and potential system compromise without authentication.

Such unauthorized access and data leakage can lead to violations of data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require the protection of personal and sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure or alteration.

Therefore, this vulnerability negatively impacts compliance with these common standards and regulations by exposing sensitive data to potential attackers.
