Employee Management System CVE-2026-7063

Remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of code-projects Employee Management System 1.0. The CVSS vector PR:N confirms no authentication required. The vulnerable /370project/process/eprocess.php endpoint must be network-accessible (typically the case for web-facing employee management systems). No special configuration, disabled security features, or non-default settings are required - this affects out-of-the-box deployments. Attack complexity is low (AC:L) with no user interaction (UI:N), meaning exploitation is fully automated. The only limiting factor is target availability: organizations must be running this specific unmaintained version 1.0 from code-projects.org, which has limited market share compared to commercial HR systems. Reconnaissance via HTTP fingerprinting or path enumeration easily identifies vulnerable instances.

Real-world risk is HIGH despite absence from CISA KEV. CVSS 7.3 accurately reflects severity: AV:N (network-accessible), AC:L (low complexity), PR:N (no authentication required), UI:N (no user interaction), with partial impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L). The publicly available exploit code on GitHub significantly lowers the skill barrier for exploitation. However, risk is somewhat mitigated by the application's limited deployment footprint - code-projects.org hosts small PHP projects primarily used for educational purposes or small business deployments, not enterprise-scale systems. The combination of unauthenticated network access and public POC makes this exploitable by automated scanners and script kiddies. Absence from EPSS data and KEV suggests this is not yet incorporated into mass exploitation campaigns, but the low barrier to entry means this could change rapidly. Organizations running this exact version should treat remediation as urgent. The CVSS temporal metrics (E:P for POC, RL:X for no official fix, RC:R for reasonable confidence) support immediate action.

An attacker identifies an internet-exposed Employee Management System 1.0 installation via Shodan or automated scanning for the /370project/ path structure. Using the publicly available GitHub exploit, they craft a malicious HTTP request to /370project/process/eprocess.php with a SQL injection payload in the pwd parameter (e.g., pwd=' OR '1'='1' -- ). The vulnerable PHP code concatenates this directly into a SQL query, bypassing authentication or extracting the entire employee database including credentials, personal data, and salary information. The attacker can escalate to modify admin passwords, insert backdoor accounts, or execute operating system commands if the database user has FILE privileges.
