SimplePoll SQL Injection Vulnerability
SimplePoll is prone to an SQL injection vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in an SQL query. Successful exploitation could result in a compromise of the application, disclosure or modification of data, or may permit an attacker to exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation. The vulnerability can be exploited by using a specially crafted payload in the 'pollid' parameter.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, input validation and sanitization should be implemented to ensure that user-supplied input is properly handled and does not contain malicious SQL statements. Prepared statements or parameterized queries should be used to prevent SQL injection attacks. Additionally, the principle of least privilege should be followed to limit the database user's permissions.
