Database disclosure via unescaped old-password query
Published Aug 5, 2026 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
SQL injection in Student Registration System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to read database data via the old-password field. The changepass.php handler interpolates the POST opwd value directly into the password lookup query without escaping or parameterization. A valid student session is required; time-based payloads extract database contents, including stored credentials, while write impact depends on the database account's privileges.
