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 issue found in the Class and Exam Timetabling System version 1.0, specifically in the /archive2.php file. It occurs because the 'sy' parameter is not properly validated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries remotely without needing authentication.

Attackers can exploit this flaw by manipulating the 'sy' parameter to execute various SQL injection techniques such as boolean-based blind or error-based injections, potentially compromising the database.

Impact Analysis

Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to the database, resulting in data leakage, data tampering, or even full system control. It may also cause service disruption.

  • Unauthorized database access
  • Data leakage
  • Data tampering
  • Potential system control by attackers
  • Service disruption
Detection Guidance

This SQL injection vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'sy' parameter in the /archive2.php file for improper input validation. Attackers can exploit this parameter using SQL injection payloads such as boolean-based blind or error-based techniques.

To detect the vulnerability, you can use SQL injection testing tools or manual commands that inject SQL syntax into the 'sy' parameter and observe the response for anomalies or errors.

  • Example command using curl to test for SQL injection: curl "http://targetsite.com/archive2.php?sy=1' OR '1'='1"
  • Use sqlmap tool to automate detection: sqlmap -u "http://targetsite.com/archive2.php?sy=1" --batch
Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing prepared statements to handle the 'sy' parameter safely, validating and sanitizing all user inputs, and restricting database permissions to limit the impact of any potential exploitation.

Additionally, conducting regular security audits and monitoring for suspicious activity related to the 'sy' parameter can help prevent exploitation.

Compliance Impact

The SQL injection vulnerability in the Class and Exam Timetabling System allows unauthorized database access, data leakage, and tampering. 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 remediate this vulnerability could result in violations of confidentiality, integrity, and availability principles mandated by these standards, potentially leading to legal and financial consequences.
