Executive brief
A security vulnerability exists in the itsourcecode Online Hotel Management System, a software package used for managing hotel operations and guest records.

Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in itsourcecode Online Hotel Management System 1.0 within the '/admin/mod_users/controller.php' component. The root cause is the failure to sanitize the 'Name' POST parameter when the 'action' is set to 'add'. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted SQL queries, leading to boolean-based or time-based blind SQL injection. This allows for unauthorized database enumeration, data extraction, and potential full system compromise. A public exploit (PoC) using sqlmap has been disclosed.
