Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0 within the '/edit_exam1.php' component. The root cause is the improper neutralization of the 'id' GET parameter before it is used in a database query. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted SQL queries to the server. Successful exploitation allows for unauthorized database access, including data exfiltration (via UNION-based or error-based techniques) and potential data tampering. A public exploit (PoC) has been released, but no official patch is currently available; users are advised to implement prepared statements and input validation manually.
