Unauthenticated database manipulation via unsanitized semester parameter
Published Sep 5, 2025 · Updated Sep 5, 2025
SQL injection in PHPGurukul Online Course Registration 3.1 allows remote attackers to query the database via the semester parameter. The /admin/semester.php handler inserts the POST parameter directly into SQL queries without sanitization or validation, enabling time-based blind injection. No login is required; the published proof of concept uses a crafted MySQL SLEEP expression, and accessible data or changes depend on database-account permissions.
