Authenticated SQL injection via unescaped selector array
Published Apr 7, 2024 · Updated Feb 26, 2025
SQL injection in SourceCodester Online Courseware 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to alter database queries via selector[]. The admin/deactivateteach.php handler inserts each unescaped selector[] value directly into a MySQL UPDATE statement. Administrator authentication is required; the demonstrated time-based query delays database processing, while further effects depend on database privileges.
