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 in PHPGurukul Daily Expense Tracker System 1.1. It exists in the forgot-password.php file where user inputs for email or contact number are not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries. Attackers can manipulate these inputs to inject malicious SQL commands, allowing them to execute arbitrary database operations remotely.

Detection Guidance

To detect SQL injection vulnerabilities like CVE-2026-90846, inspect the forgot-password.php and reset-password.php files in the PHPGurukul Daily Expense Tracker System for unsanitized user inputs. Check if email/contactno parameters are directly concatenated into SQL queries without prepared statements.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to bypass authentication, access sensitive data, or reset passwords for any user account. This could lead to unauthorized access to financial records, personal information, or complete account takeover. The impact includes data theft, fraud, and potential financial loss depending on the system's use.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability likely violates GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. It could result in unauthorized access to personal data, breaching confidentiality and integrity requirements. Organizations may face regulatory penalties, legal liabilities, and reputational damage for failing to protect sensitive user information.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the application to use prepared statements with parameter binding for all SQL queries. Implement secure password reset tokens instead of session variables. Validate and sanitize all user inputs server-side, especially email and contact number fields.
