CVE-2023-0530Network attack vector

SQL injection via crafted approval ID

Published Jan 27, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

SQL injection in admin/approve_user.php in SourceCodester Online Tours & Travels Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to alter SQL queries. The published record identifies the id argument and endpoint but does not disclose the query construction or missing validation that makes the injection possible. Published assessments disagree on the gate: VulDB requires high privileges, while NVD rates exploitation as unauthenticated; database confidentiality, integrity, and availability are affected.
