Unauthenticated database access via unsanitized val parameter
Published May 1, 2026 · Updated May 1, 2026
SQL injection in SourceCodester Advanced School Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to access its database through checkEmail. commonController.php passes the val query parameter directly into an SQL query without sanitization, validation, or parameter binding. The endpoint requires no authentication, enabling database reads and modifications; the published proof of concept demonstrates error-based and time-based blind extraction.
