CVE-2020-6117,CVE-2020-6119,CVE-2020-6121,CVE-2020-6118,CVE-2020-6120,CVE-2020-6122
Multiple exploitable SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in the CheckDuplicateStudent.php page of OS4Ed openSIS 7.3. A specially crafted HTTP request lead to SQL injection. An attacker can make an authenticated HTTP request to trigger these vulnerabilities.
The versions below were either tested or verified to be vulnerable by Talos or confirmed to be vulnerable by the vendor.
OS4Ed openSIS 7.3
openSIS - https://opensis.com/
6.4 - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
CWE-89 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command (‘SQL Injection’)
openSIS is a student information system and school management system. It is available in commercial and open-source versions. It allows schools to create schedules and track attendance, grades and transcripts.
The following code in CheckDuplicateStudent is vulnerable to multiple SQL injection attacks at lines 64 and 66:
31 $student_fname= $_REQUEST['fn'];
32 $student_mname = $_REQUEST['mn'];
33 $student_lname = $_REQUEST['ln'];
34 $student_byear = $_REQUEST['byear'];
35 $student_bmonth = $_REQUEST['bmonth'];
36 $student_bday = $_REQUEST['bday'];
37
[...]
62 $student_birthday =trim($student_byear).'-'. trim($student_bmonth).'-'. trim($student_bday);
63 if(trim($student_mname)=='')
64 $chechk_stu = 'SELECT s.student_id AS ID FROM students s,student_enrollment se WHERE s.student_id=se.student_id AND lcase(s.last_name)="'.strtolower($student_lname).'" AND lcase(s.first_name)="'.strtolower($student_fname).'" AND (lcase(s.middle_name)="" OR lcase(s.middle_name) IS NULL ) AND s.birthdate="'.$student_birthday.'" AND se.syear="'.$_SESSION['UserSyear'].'" AND se.school_id="'.$_SESSION['UserSchool'].' " ';
65 else
66 $chechk_stu = 'SELECT s.student_id AS ID FROM students s,student_enrollment se WHERE s.student_id=se.student_id AND lcase(s.last_name)="'.strtolower($student_lname).'" AND lcase(s.first_name)="'.strtolower($s tudent_fname).'" AND lcase(s.middle_name)="'.strtolower($student_mname).'" AND s.birthdate="'.$student_birthday.'" AND se.syear="'.$_SESSION['UserSyear'].'" AND se.school_id="'.$_SESSION['UserSchool'].'" ';
67 $chechk_stu_result = DBGet(DBQuery($chechk_stu));
68 $prev_student = count($chechk_stu_result);
69 echo $prev_student;
