Unauthenticated database access via unsanitized editid query
Published Jun 6, 2025 · Updated Jun 6, 2025
SQL injection in PHPGurukul Local Services Search Engine Management System 2.1 allows remote attackers to access and alter its database. The edit-person-detail.php handler inserts the GET editid value directly into an SQL query without validation or parameter binding. The CNA rates exploitation as unauthenticated, although the published proof-of-concept request carries an administrator session cookie; resulting access is bounded by the database account's privileges.
