Impact: Unauthorized Data Access and Modification
CVE-2023-49666 is a critical vulnerability in Billing Software v1.0, developed by Kashipara Group. The flaw resides in the submit_material_list.php script, where the custmer_details parameter is not properly validated. This lack of input sanitization allows unauthenticated attackers to perform SQL injection attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data and manipulation of the application’s database.
Affected Products
-
Product: Billing Software
-
Version: 1.0

Vendor: Kashipara Group
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP POST request to the submit_material_list.php endpoint with a malicious custmer_details parameter. Due to the absence of proper input validation, the application directly incorporates this parameter into SQL queries, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands.
