Details

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.'"

 67 $chechk_stu_result = DBGet(DBQuery($chechk_stu));
 68 $prev_student = count($chechk_stu_result);
 69   echo $prev_student;
