Description

Multiple SQL Injection vulnerabilities in Teachers Record Management System 1.0 thru 2.1 allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the 'editid' GET parameter in edit-subjects-detail.php, edit-teacher-detail.php, or the 'searchdata' POST parameter in search.php.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
