Authenticated database compromise via concatenated username query
Published Aug 15, 2023 · Updated Oct 8, 2024
SQL injection in Mohammad-Ajazuddin eVotingSystem-PHP 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to read or alter database records via username input. The voter lookup concatenates the username into a quoted SELECT statement and sends the resulting string to mysqli_query without parameterization. The authenticated input path is the gate; crafted SQL can disclose, modify, or delete database contents, and the CVE record also reports arbitrary code execution.
