Unauthenticated database access via unsanitized subject ID
Published Jul 19, 2026 · Updated Jul 19, 2026
SQL injection in edit_subject.php in SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0 allows remote attackers to access its database. The script passes the unauthenticated id query parameter directly into an SQL query without sanitization or validation, enabling boolean-, error-, time-, and UNION-based injection. No login is required; published payloads demonstrate database enumeration, while reading, modifying, deleting, or interrupting data depends on the database account's privileges.
