Description
Twitter-Clone 1 contains a SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the name parameter. Attackers can submit crafted payloads to the search.php endpoint to extract database information including usernames, credentials, and system data using error-based and union-based SQL injection techniques.

AI Analysis

Impact

Twitter‑Clone 1 contains an unauthenticated SQL injection flaw in the search.php endpoint, where the name parameter is passed directly to a database query. By injecting crafted payloads, an attacker can execute arbitrary SQL statements, retrieve usernames, credentials, and other system data, and exploit the flaw using both error‑based and union‑based techniques.

Affected Systems

The open‑source Twitter‑Clone 1 application released by Fyffe on GitHub is affected. Any deployment that has not migrated to a version that properly sanitizes or parameterizes the name input is vulnerable; no specific version range is provided in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity vulnerability that allows attackers to extract sensitive data without authentication. The exploit requires only web access to the application and is publicly demonstrated in exploit‑db. Though no EPSS score or KEV listing is available, the readily available proof‑of‑concept and the lack of defensive measures suggest a significant risk of data compromise.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the application to a version that sanitizes input or replaces the vulnerable query with parameterized statements
  • Implement strict input validation on the name parameter, restricting to expected characters or patterns
  • Disable detailed database error messages to prevent error‑based injection techniques
  • Deploy a web application firewall rule set to block common SQL injection patterns
