Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was identified in code-projects Employee Management System 1.0. This impacts an unknown function of the file /changepassemp.php. The manipulation leads to sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in code-projects Employee Management System 1.0 exposes the /changepassemp.php password-change endpoint to database manipulation by authenticated low-privilege users over the network. The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 reflects limited, non-cascading impact - partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability degradation confined to the vulnerable component with no downstream system scope change. A publicly available proof-of-concept exploit exists on GitHub, though the EPSS score of 0.03% (8th percentile) and SSVC 'automatable: no' classification indicate this is unlikely to see widespread opportunistic exploitation; no public exploit identified at time of analysis corroborating active KEV-level campaigns.
Technical ContextAI
The affected application is a PHP-based web system identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:code-projects:employee_management_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), occurring in /changepassemp.php - the employee password-change handler. This PHP file likely constructs SQL queries by directly concatenating user-supplied input (such as an employee ID or current password field) without using parameterized queries or prepared statements, allowing an attacker to alter query logic. The PHP + MySQL stack typical of code-projects applications makes PDO or MySQLi bound parameters the canonical remediation path.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at the time of analysis - the code-projects vendor site (https://code-projects.org/) provides no documented fixed version in available references. The definitive fix is to rewrite SQL queries in /changepassemp.php using PHP PDO or MySQLi prepared statements with bound parameters, eliminating the injection surface entirely. As an immediate compensating control, deploy a Web Application Firewall rule targeting SQL injection payloads on the /changepassemp.php endpoint; note that WAF bypass is possible and this is not a permanent solution. Restrict network access to the application to only trusted internal networks or VPN-authenticated users, reducing the effective attack surface given that PR:L authentication is already required. If the password-change feature is non-critical or infrequently used, consider temporarily disabling /changepassemp.php at the web server level (e.g., via nginx location deny or Apache FilesMatch) until a code fix is applied.
