## Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the ReqController.php file (viewReq function) of Hospital Information System 1.0 due to unsanitized use of the 'id' parameter in SQL queries. The vulnerable code concatenates user-supplied input directly into database queries without prepared statements or parameterized binding. An attacker can exploit this via network-based GET requests without authentication to inject malicious SQL payloads (boolean-based blind, error-based, or time-based blind techniques). Successful exploitation grants unauthorized database access, enabling data exfiltration, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability can be remediated by implementing prepared statements, input validation, and enforcing principle-of-least-privilege for database credentials.
