How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability resides in the improper neutralization of special elements employed in an SQL command within the Mojoomla School Management software. This allows potential attackers to manipulate SQL queries in such a way that they can retrieve, alter, or delete data within the database. This method is commonly known as SQL Injection, and in this case, it is a Blind SQL Injection, meaning the attacker doesn’t need detailed error messages to exploit it.
Conceptual Example Code
A conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited is shown below. This is an HTTP request where the “student_id” field is manipulated with a malicious SQL payload:
GET /student/profile?student_id=1 OR 1=1 HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-school.eduHere, the attacker injects an always true condition (`1=1`), which could potentially return sensitive information from the database.
Proposed Mitigation
The most effective solution to address this vulnerability is applying a patch provided by the vendor. If this is not immediately possible, a temporary mitigation measure can be implemented by utilizing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to detect and prevent SQL Injection attacks. It is recommended that all affected systems be patched as soon as possible to avoid potential compromise or data leakage.
