How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied inputs in the “/barangay_management/admin/?page=view_complaint” page of the application. An attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted SQL query to the application, which could allow the attacker to manipulate the SQL query, leading to unauthorized access to the system’s database.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:
GET /barangay_management/admin/?page=view_complaint&id=1' OR '1'='1 HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
In this example, the “id” parameter in the URL is manipulated to include the SQL injection payload “‘ OR ‘1’=’1”. This malicious payload can force the SQL query to always return true, potentially allowing the attacker to view all complaints in the system.
It’s important to note that the specific payload and the result might vary depending on the structure of the system’s database and the specific SQL dialect used.
