Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the /modal_add_rooma.php file where the 'room_name' POST parameter is concatenated directly into mysqli_query() without proper input validation or prepared statements (vulnerable code around lines 59–60). The attack requires no authentication or special preconditions; an attacker can send a crafted POST request with malicious SQL syntax in the room_name field to execute arbitrary database commands. Time-based blind SQL injection has been demonstrated, allowing attackers to exfiltrate data, modify records, or achieve remote code execution depending on database permissions. Patches are not yet available; remediation requires implementing prepared statements and parameterized queries, strict input validation, and least-privilege database account permissions.
