Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in itsourcecode Electronic Judging System 1.0 within the /admin/edit_judge.php component. The root cause is the improper neutralization of the 'judge_id' GET parameter before its use in a SQL query. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted SQL commands to the server. Successful exploitation allows for boolean-based blind, time-based blind, and UNION-based SQL injection, potentially leading to full database extraction or unauthorized data modification. No patches are currently known to be available; developers are advised to implement prepared statements and parameterized queries.
