CVE-2022-2643Public exploitNetwork attack vector

SQL injection via unvalidated shift POST parameter

Published Aug 4, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025

SQL injection in SourceCodester Online Admission System allows attackers to read and modify database data through the shift POST parameter. The application inserts the shift value into a MySQL query without validation or parameterization, enabling error-based and time-based injection. The CNA rates exploitation as requiring low privileges, while NVD rates it as unauthenticated; either path can expose or alter admission data and disrupt the database service.
