Authenticated SQL injection via selector array interpolation

Published Apr 7, 2024 · Updated Aug 26, 2024

SQL injection in SourceCodester Online Courseware 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to alter database queries via selector[] input. The activatestud.php handler places each submitted array value directly inside a quoted UPDATE statement without parameterization or escaping. An administrator session is required; the published proof demonstrates a time-based database oracle, while broader data access or modification is not shown.
