Database extraction via unparameterized type input
Published Sep 29, 2022 · Updated May 20, 2025
SQL injection in hms-staff.php in Projectworlds Hospital Management System Mini-Project through 2018-06-17 allows remote attackers to read data. The staff-login POST handler treats the type parameter as SQL syntax instead of binding it as data, enabling time-delayed queries and database extraction. No prior account is required; the demonstrated blind injection can recover database contents one value at a time.
