Unauthenticated SQL injection via unsanitized sub1 input
Published Apr 30, 2025 · Updated Apr 30, 2025
SQL injection in add-subject.php in Projectworlds Student Record System 3.20 allows remote attackers to alter database data via sub1. The page places the sub1 POST value directly into a MySQL query without sanitization or validation, enabling time-based blind injection with a crafted value. No login is required; database permissions bound the ability to read, modify, or delete stored student records and interrupt database-backed functions.
