Impact

CVSS 6.9 indicates moderate risk with network-based attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no authentication required (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N). However, the CVSS4 scope (S:X) and impact ratings (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L) suggest compartmentalized damage rather than system-wide compromise. The CVSS Evidence field (E:P) explicitly flags public exploit availability, elevating real-world risk. No EPSS score or KEV status provided, but the combination of publicly disclosed exploit code, network accessibility, zero authentication barriers, and SQL injection severity in a login-critical component (userchecklogin.php) creates high practical exploitation likelihood. SSVC factors: exploitation status is confirmed (POC exists); attack is automatable (SQL injection queries can be scripted); technical impact is moderate (data breach/modification but not system takeover). This warrants immediate patching for any internet-exposed instances.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker identifies a Simple Laundry System 1.0 instance exposed on the internet (or accessible within a network) and crafts a malicious HTTP request to /userchecklogin.php with a SQL injection payload in the userid parameter, such as userid=' OR '1'='1 or a time-based blind SQL injection. Since no authentication is required and the parameter is processed directly into a SQL query, the attacker retrieves sensitive database records (usernames, password hashes, transaction logs) or modifies data without legitimate credentials. Publicly available exploit code accelerates discovery and reduces the skill barrier for threat actors.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 09, 2026

SQL injection in code-projects Simple Laundry System 1.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the userid parameter in /userchecklogin.php, enabling arbitrary SQL query execution with potential impact on data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVSS 6.9 reflects low-impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects without lateral propagation; exploit code is publicly available, increasing practical risk despite moderate CVSS scoring.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified at time of analysis. Immediate mitigation options include: (1) Apply parameterized SQL queries or prepared statements to the userid parameter validation in /userchecklogin.php to neutralize SQL injection; (2) Implement input validation/whitelist enforcement on userid to accept only expected alphanumeric or numeric formats; (3) If direct code patching is unavailable, restrict access to /userchecklogin.php via Web Application Firewall rules or authentication gateway until a patch is released. Contact code-projects.org for security advisory and patch availability; additional technical details are available via VulDB reference 356271 and the GitHub disclosure at lonelyuan/vunls/issues/1.

Affected ProductsAI

code-projects Simple Laundry System version 1.0 is the confirmed affected product. This appears to be a standalone PHP application marketed via code-projects.org and tracked in vulnerability databases including VulDB (CVE reference 356271). No version range, CPE identifier, or differentiation between patches or sub-versions is provided in available data. Deployment context is typically small-to-medium business laundry management, often in shared hosting environments.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability stems from improper input validation on the userid parameter passed to /userchecklogin.php in a PHP-based web application (CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output). The user-supplied userid value is not sanitized before being incorporated into SQL queries, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL syntax. This is a classic web application vulnerability exploitable via HTTP GET or POST requests. The affected product is a standalone laundry management system written in PHP, typically deployed in shared hosting or small-business environments where input validation frameworks may be minimal.
