Proof Of Concept
Disclaimer
No data has been dumped; we randomly tried the security of the sharekhan’s website and after spending few minutes we came up with this SQL Injection flaw. Database has been accessed just to take screenshots so that we can make company believe that the vulnerability actually exist.
A reminder e-mail was sent to company the very next day this flaw was discovered but even after couple of weeks we didn’t received any response from the company and the said vulnerability still remains open for outside attack. It seems sharekhan didn’t bother to fix this vulnerability that exists in their web and even reported to them. So at-last, we are disclosing this vulnerability publicly.
