Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a network-reachable instance of code-projects Simple Flight Ticket Booking System 1.0 with the checkUser.php endpoint accessible to the attacker - this is the default deployment configuration since checkUser.php is the login handler. No authentication, user interaction, or special configuration is required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). Practical limiting factors are the application's likely small deployment footprint (a code-projects.org template typically used in academic or hobby contexts rather than production airline systems) and the requirement that the attacker reach the HTTP(S) listener hosting the PHP application.

Impact

The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indicates remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation, which is the worst-case access profile. However, the impact metrics (C:L/I:L/A:L) indicate only partial impact rather than full compromise, yielding the 7.3 base score. The E:P (Proof-of-Concept) and RC:R (Reasonable confidence) temporal metrics align with the publicly disclosed exploit on GitHub. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV and no EPSS score was provided in the input, so widespread mass exploitation cannot be confirmed. The realistic risk is elevated by the fact that this is a small, third-party educational/SMB project unlikely to receive timely vendor patches, and SQLi in a login handler frequently enables authentication bypass or data exfiltration beyond what CVSS partial-impact ratings suggest. Practical risk is moderated by the likely small deployment footprint of this niche application.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker locates an internet-exposed instance of Simple Flight Ticket Booking System and submits a crafted POST request to checkUser.php with a malicious Username payload such as ' OR 1=1-- to bypass authentication or extract data via UNION-based or boolean-based blind injection. Because publicly available exploit code exists at https://github.com/K1venn/cves/issues/1, the technique is reproducible without specialized skill, and the attacker can dump user credentials or booking data from the database.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 08, 2026

SQL injection in code-projects Simple Flight Ticket Booking System 1.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate database queries via the Username POST parameter in checkUser.php. Publicly available exploit code exists (disclosed via GitHub), increasing the likelihood of opportunistic attacks against exposed instances, though the issue is not listed in CISA KEV. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.3 reflects network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation with no privileges or user interaction required.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - code-projects.org distributes this as an educational/template project and has no published advisory or fix version referenced in the available data. Operators should replace the vulnerable SQL query construction in checkUser.php with parameterized queries (PDO prepared statements or mysqli_stmt with bind_param) for the Username parameter, and review all other POST parameter handlers in the application for similar issues. Until code is fixed, compensating controls include placing the application behind a WAF with SQLi rules tuned for the login endpoint (trade-off: false positives on legitimate usernames containing special characters), restricting network access to the application via IP allowlisting or VPN (trade-off: blocks intended public booking functionality), and ensuring the database account used by the app has minimum privileges so injection cannot pivot to other databases.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected application is a PHP-based web application (Simple Flight Ticket Booking System 1.0) distributed by code-projects.org, typically deployed on LAMP/WAMP stacks with a MySQL backend. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), where the Username POST parameter sent to checkUser.php is concatenated into a SQL query without parameterized statements or input sanitization. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:code-projects:simple_flight_ticket_booking_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all versions are presumed affected, though only 1.0 is explicitly named. checkUser.php is the authentication-handling component, meaning the injection occurs pre-authentication during the login flow.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability has been found in code-projects Simple Flight Ticket Booking System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file checkUser.php of the component POST Parameter Handler. The manipulation of the argument Username leads to sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Simple Flight Ticket Booking System 1.0 contains a critical remote SQL injection flaw in the user authentication check that grants database access without credentials. Because publicly available exploit code exists for this vulnerability, attackers can readily compromise customer data and service integrity at any organization running this software. Immediate protective action is required to prevent likely opportunistic attacks.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Deploy WAF rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts in the Username parameter; enable database query monitoring to detect unauthorized access; implement network-level access restrictions; configure intrusion detection rules for known exploit signatures; establish enhanced logging and alerting on checkUser.php; conduct periodic security assessments. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis.
