CVE-2023-2367Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Database disclosure via injectable academic identifier

Published Apr 28, 2023 · Updated Jan 30, 2025

SQL injection in SourceCodester Faculty Evaluation System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to disclose database data via the id parameter. The manage_academic.php endpoint incorporates the id query value into a database operation without neutralizing SQL syntax, enabling an error-based updatexml payload to expose query results. An administrator session is required by the published request, and the demonstrated consequence is disclosure of the active database name.
