Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the 'user' parameter of the /College/login.php file in College Notes Gallery Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation and sanitization—user-supplied input from the 'user' POST parameter is directly concatenated into SQL queries without prepared statements or parameterized queries. The attack is network-accessible and requires no authentication or user interaction. An attacker can craft malicious SQL payloads (boolean-blind, error-based, or time-based blind techniques) to extract database contents, modify data, or bypass login restrictions. No patch is currently available; remediation requires implementing prepared statements with parameter binding and strict input validation.
