Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Student Information System's /student_edit1.php and /change-password.php endpoints where the "id" parameter is not properly validated or escaped before use in SQL queries. The vulnerability requires authentication; an attacker must log in with valid credentials before exploiting it. An unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass authentication or an authenticated user can manipulate the "id" parameter with SQL commands (e.g., using RLIKE CASE constructs for blind SQL injection) to access unauthorized data, modify records, or execute arbitrary database operations. No patch information is currently available in the advisory; remediation involves implementing parameterized queries (prepared statements) and strict input validation.
