SQL injection in Sourcecodester Faculty Evaluation System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to read database data through a crafted id parameter. The edit_faculty handler treats the id query parameter as SQL syntax, allowing a UNION SELECT value to alter the database query and return the database name. An authenticated administrator session is required; successful injection can read or modify data available to the application database account.
