Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in PHPGurukul Online Course Registration 3.1 within the '/check_availability.php' file. The root cause is the failure to sanitize or validate user-supplied input for the 'cid' parameter before it is used in a database query. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted POST request containing malicious SQL commands. Successful exploitation allows for boolean-based and time-based blind SQL injection, enabling the attacker to extract database contents, modify data, or potentially gain administrative access. A public proof-of-concept (PoC) using sqlmap has been disclosed.
