How to fix

Use prepared statements and parameterized queries to separate SQL code from user input data. Implement strict input validation and filtering to ensure all user input conforms to expected formats, and restrict database account permissions to the minimum required for operation.

Technical details

The application fails to validate or sanitize the 'credit' parameter in /opils/staff/edit_credit.php before using it directly in SQL queries, allowing time-based blind SQL injection. An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject malicious SQL through POST requests to extract database contents, modify records, or escalate privileges. A fix requires parameterized queries and input validation.
