Privilege escalation via category ID SQL injection

Published Jul 29, 2024 · Updated Jul 9, 2026

SQL injection in SourceCodester Lost and Found Information System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges via the id parameter. The view_category.php endpoint passes the id query value into a database operation without neutralizing SQL syntax, allowing injected statements to alter application data. Access to the management site with valid credentials is required, and successful injection can grant higher application privileges.
