Executive brief
The Cab Management System, a web application for managing taxi bookings, contains a security flaw that could allow an authorized administrative user to access restricted database information. By sending a specially crafted web request, an attacker with administrative credentials can bypass intended data protections to view sensitive system data. This could lead to the exposure of internal database structures or other confidential information stored within the system.
Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in Sourcecodester Cab Management System 1.0 within the /cms/admin/bookings/view_booking.php file. The application fails to properly sanitize the 'id' GET parameter before using it in a database query. An attacker with high privileges (administrative access) can exploit this by submitting a UNION-based SQL injection payload to extract sensitive information from the database, such as the database name or other table data. The vulnerability was identified in an environment running PHP 8.1. No official patch has been reported, as this is a source code project from Sourcecodester.
