Sourcecodester Online Thesis Archiving System v1.0 is vulnerale to SQL injection in the file /otas/view_archive.php.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in Sourcecodester Online Thesis Archiving System v1.0's /otas/view_archive.php endpoint allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially extracting sensitive thesis data, authentication credentials, or modifying database contents. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, with minimal observed exploitation probability (EPSS 0.01%, 2nd percentile). The vulnerability affects a PHP-based academic archiving platform with limited deployment footprint.
Technical ContextAI
This is a classic CWE-89 SQL injection vulnerability in a PHP web application. The affected endpoint /otas/view_archive.php likely accepts user-supplied parameters (typically thesis ID or search terms) without proper input sanitization or parameterized query usage. Online Thesis Archiving System v1.0 is a small-scale academic document management application, suggesting standard LAMP/WAMP stack deployment with MySQL/MariaDB backend. SQL injection occurs when untrusted input is directly concatenated into SQL query strings, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL syntax that alters query logic. The network-accessible attack vector (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) indicates the vulnerable parameter is exposed via HTTP GET/POST requests without requiring special network positioning or timing conditions.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. The primary reference is a third-party bug report on GitHub at https://github.com/huliangjia/bug_report/blob/main/Sourcecodester/online-thesis-archiving-system/SQL-1.md which documents the vulnerability but does not provide an official fix. Administrators should immediately implement input validation and parameterized queries (prepared statements) for the /otas/view_archive.php endpoint. As an interim mitigation, restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint via web application firewall rules or .htaccess authentication until code-level remediation can be applied. Review all user input handling across the application for similar SQL injection patterns given the systemic lack of input sanitization. Consider migrating to actively maintained thesis archiving platforms if Sourcecodester does not release security updates.
