Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the id parameter of /Admin/edit_symptom.php due to unsanitized user input concatenated directly into SQL queries without parameterized statements. The vulnerable endpoint is accessible without authentication, and attackers can exploit this via GET requests using time-based or UNION-based SQL injection techniques (confirmed with sqlmap). Successful exploitation yields complete database disclosure, administrative credential theft, and authentication bypass; the fix requires migrating to prepared statements with parameterized queries.
