Unauthenticated SQL injection via unvalidated usn

Published Sep 17, 2025 · Updated Sep 17, 2025

SQL injection in SourceCodester Online Exam Form Submission 1.0 allows remote attackers to manipulate its database through the usn login field. The index.php login handler passes the POST usn value directly into an SQL query without cleaning or validation, enabling blind and UNION-based injection. No authentication is required; demonstrated queries enumerate databases, while broader effects remain bounded by the application's database privileges.
