Description

Online Shopping Portal Project 3.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands/queries via the login form, leading to unauthorized access and potential data manipulation. This vulnerability arises due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the username field, enabling SQL Injection attacks.

• 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.
