Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Assessment Management System 1.0 within the /lecturer/marking-scheme.php component. The application fails to properly sanitize or parameterize the 'smarksrange[]' input before concatenating it into an SQL INSERT statement. A remote attacker with lecturer-level privileges can provide a malicious payload that triggers an error-based SQL injection. Because the application returns raw database errors using mysqli_error(), an attacker can extract sensitive information from the database by observing the error responses. A public exploit demonstrating this behavior via the extractvalue() function is available.
