Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in code-projects Simple IT Discussion Forum 1.0 within the '/question-function.php' component. The root cause is the improper neutralization of special elements in the 'content' POST parameter, which is used directly in SQL queries without adequate sanitization or parameterized statements. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted HTTP request containing SQL payloads (such as time-based blind injection). Successful exploitation allows for unauthorized database access, data exfiltration, and potential modification of forum records. A public proof-of-concept using sqlmap has been disclosed.
