Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in PHPGurukul Online Shopping Portal Project 2.1 within the '/payment-method.php' file. The root cause is the 'Parameter Handler' component's failure to properly sanitize the 'paymethod' POST argument before using it in a database query. A remote attacker with low privileges (authenticated user) can submit a crafted payload, such as a time-based blind SQL injection string, to execute unauthorized SQL commands. This can lead to full database compromise, including sensitive data extraction and data modification. A public exploit (PoC) has been disclosed.
