Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the /modal_add_room2.php file where the 'room_name' POST parameter is concatenated directly into SQL queries without sanitization or parameterized statements (lines 59–60). The vulnerability is unauthenticated and remotely exploitable; no login or authorization is required. Attackers can craft malicious SQL payloads to extract database contents, modify data, or achieve database-level code execution. The time-based blind SQL injection has been confirmed with sqlmap. Remediation requires immediate implementation of prepared statements with parameter binding, strict input validation, and principle-of-least-privilege for database credentials.
