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.

Detection Guidance

To detect SQL injection vulnerabilities in the Class and Exam Timetabling System, inspect the /admin/modal_add_room.php file for improper input validation in the room_name parameter. Use tools like SQLmap to test for SQL injection by sending crafted inputs such as room_name=' OR '1'='1. Check web server logs for unusual queries containing SQL syntax like UNION, SELECT, or --.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to execute unauthorized database commands, potentially accessing, modifying, or deleting sensitive data. This could lead to data breaches, unauthorized system access, or disruption of services.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with GDPR or HIPAA if it results in unauthorized access to personal or health data. Organizations may face legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage due to data breaches caused by this flaw.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the application to the latest patched version if available. Apply input validation and sanitization for the room_name parameter in /admin/modal_add_room.php. Use prepared statements with parameterized queries instead of direct SQL execution. Restrict database user permissions to limit damage from potential exploits.
