Database access via unsanitized mobnum query
Published May 16, 2025 · Updated May 16, 2025
SQL injection in PHPGurukul Zoo Management System 2.1 allows remote attackers to access the database through a crafted mobnum value. contactus.php places the POST mobnum value directly into an SQL query without sanitization or validation, allowing injected SQL syntax to alter the query. No login is required; the demonstrated time-based blind payload can enumerate database contents, while the injectable query can modify or delete data.
