Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in CodeAstro Online Classroom 1.0 within the 'updatedetailsfromfaculty.php' file. The root cause is the improper neutralization of the 'fname' POST parameter before it is used in a database query. A remote attacker with low-level privileges (such as a faculty account) can submit crafted SQL commands to perform boolean-based blind, error-based, or time-based blind injection. This allows for unauthorized database enumeration, data extraction, and potential modification of records. The exploit has been publicly disclosed via a GitHub issue including a proof-of-concept using sqlmap.
