## Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in Sourcecodester Online Reviewer System v1.0 within the '/system/system/admins/assessments/examproper/exam-update.php' file. The application fails to properly sanitize the 'test_id' GET parameter before using it in a database query. An authenticated attacker with high privileges (administrator) can exploit this by submitting a crafted URL containing a UNION-based SQL payload. This allows the attacker to extract sensitive information from the database, such as the database name or other table data. The vulnerability is confirmed in environments running PHP 8.1.
