Summary

SQL injection vulnerability in index.php in ATutor 1.5.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the fid parameter. The vendor disputes the issue, but source code analysis suggests it may be legitimate, and the parameter is sanitized in version 1.5.3.1.

Risk Assessment

Exploitation could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the database, modify or steal data, and potentially compromise the application.

Recommendation
