Authenticated SQL injection via unescaped problem ID
Published Oct 27, 2025 · Updated Oct 27, 2025
SQL injection in RUET-OJ allows remote authenticated users to manipulate database queries through the description.php id parameter. The description.php handler copies the GET id value into a problem identifier and interpolates it between quotes in a SELECT query without parameterization or escaping. A valid session is required, and injected SQL can read or alter data accessible to the application database account.
