Arbitrary SQL execution via unescaped id parameter
Published Mar 6, 2026 · Updated Mar 6, 2026
SQL injection in EdTv 2.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries through the id parameter in admin/edit_source. The endpoint passes the unvalidated id value to get_source, and the public proof of concept demonstrates that UNION syntax is interpreted as SQL rather than data. No account is required, and successful exploitation exposes database schemas, account credentials, and server version details while permitting queries within the application's database privileges.
