Technical details

The vulnerability is a time-based SQL injection in the dashboard components (admin_dashboard.php, student_dashboard.php, teacher_dashboard.php) where POST parameters such as roll_no and teacher_name are directly concatenated into SQL queries without prepared statements, validation, or escaping. The vulnerable code constructs queries like "SELECT * FROM students WHERE roll_no = '<user_input>'" and passes them directly to mysqli_query(). An unauthenticated or authenticated attacker can craft POST requests to the dashboard search handlers with SQL injection payloads (e.g., "999' OR SLEEP(2)-- -") to perform blind SQL injection and extract database content, enumerate records, or potentially modify data. The application uses a rolling release model; no patched version has been released, and the maintainer has not responded to the issue report.
