SQL Injection Vulnerability in Message Board / Threaded Discussion Forum
The Message Board / Threaded Discussion Forum is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query. Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database. To demonstrate this issue, use a valid username, such as 'admin', in the Username field, and the following string for the password field of the vulnerable script: anything' OR 'x'='x
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, proper input validation and parameterized queries should be implemented to ensure that user-supplied data is properly sanitized before using it in SQL queries.
