|
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default installations of Inventory Management System 1.0. The vulnerable endpoint must be reachable over the network and the application must be connected to a database; no user interaction or additional privileges are required. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates a low-impact vulnerability (Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability all Low) despite a network attack vector, low complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction. The EPSS score of 0.05% (14th percentile) suggests very low likelihood of real-world exploitation at scale, consistent with the product’s likely limited deployment. No CISA KEV entry exists, and while public exploit code is available, it has not been used in active campaigns to our knowledge. This is a low-risk issue for most organizations, but could pose a threat to entities running the specific vulnerable application without compensating controls. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends an HTTP request to /php_action/editUser.php containing SQL payloads in the edituserName field, enabling extraction of database contents, modification of user data, or potential further compromise of the back-end database server. Public proof-of-concept exploit code exists, simplifying the attack for low-skill adversaries. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 27, 2026
SQL injection in code-projects Inventory Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to manipulate database queries via the edituserName parameter in /php_action/editUser.php. The exploit is publicly available, but the EPSS score is only 0.05%, indicating low probability of widespread exploitation. No evidence of active exploitation has been reported.
RemediationAI
No official patch has been released by the vendor. As immediate remediation, restrict network access to /php_action/editUser.php, apply Web Application Firewall rules to block SQL injection attempts, and sanitize all user inputs (especially the edituserName parameter) with parameterized queries or prepared statements. Consider retiring this unmaintained tutorial software in production environments in favor of a supported inventory management system. The GitHub issue and VulDB references do not provide a fix, only proof-of-concept exploit code.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in the /php_action/editUser.php script, part of a PHP-based inventory management application that likely interacts with a MySQL database. The root cause is improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command (CWE-74, though more precisely CWE-89), where user-supplied input is directly concatenated into SQL queries without sanitization. The affected product is code-projects Inventory Management System version 1.0 as identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:code-projects:inventory_management_system:1.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.
