Database manipulation via unescaped delete task ID
Published May 4, 2025 · Updated May 5, 2025
SQL injection in SourceCodester Simple To-Do List System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to manipulate its MySQL database. Line 9 of delete_task.php passes the attacker-controlled ID parameter into SQL execution without neutralizing SQL syntax. Low-privileged authenticated access is required; the published proof of concept demonstrates time-based blind query execution.
