Executive brief
A security vulnerability exists in the PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal Project, a web application used for managing e-commerce operations. An attacker can exploit this flaw to gain unauthorized access to the underlying database, potentially leading to the theft of customer information or the disruption of store operations. This issue occurs because the system does not properly verify specific order-related requests before processing them.
Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal Project up to version 2.1. The flaw is located in the '/pending-orders.php' file within the Parameter Handler component. The root cause is the failure to sanitize or validate the 'id' GET parameter before using it in a database query. A remote attacker with low privileges can provide a malicious payload (such as time-based blind SQL injection) to execute unauthorized database operations, leak sensitive data, or tamper with records. A proof-of-concept exploit using time-based blind techniques has been publicly disclosed.
