Technical summary
The CVE-2026-55740 vulnerability is caused by a lack of input validation and sanitization in the bus_info.php file. Specifically, the $busid parameter received via HTTP POST is concatenated directly into a MySQL query without proper escaping or parameterization. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL, potentially leading to data breaches and system compromise. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.3, indicating a critical severity.
Defensive priority
High
Recommended defensive actions
- Apply patches or updates to the Nur-Alam39 bus ticket system as soon as possible.

- Use a secure database connection with a non-root user account and strong password.
- Monitor the system for suspicious activity and implement additional security measures as needed.
- Consider using a web application firewall (WAF) to detect and prevent SQL injection attacks.
