Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions are required - the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms remote unauthenticated exploitation with no attack prerequisites against any network-accessible deployment of Interview Management System 1.0. The sole technical requirement is that /inc/classes/View.php is reachable over HTTP or HTTPS, which is the default state of any deployed instance of this application. No authentication, privilege level, user interaction, or non-default configuration is needed. Exploitation is limited in practice by the product's very narrow real-world deployment footprint (niche PHP application) and the partial Low-level CIA impact ratings, which indicate database-level access rather than full OS compromise.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) places this at maximum accessibility: no authentication, no complexity, no special attack conditions, reachable over the network. The E:P supplemental modifier confirms public exploit availability. Impact is rated Low across all three CIA pillars (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), consistent with a SQL injection that enables data enumeration and manipulation but does not inherently yield OS-level code execution or full system takeover. No EPSS score was provided in the input data; no KEV listing exists, so confirmed in-the-wild exploitation is absent. Real-world risk is meaningfully constrained by the product's narrow deployment footprint - this is a niche academic/demo PHP application with minimal enterprise presence. However, the complete absence of technical exploitation barriers (no auth, low complexity, public PoC) means any attacker aware of a deployment can trivially exploit it. For organizations running this specific application, this should be treated as a high-priority remediation item despite the moderate CVSS score.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote unauthenticated attacker identifies a publicly accessible deployment of Interview Management System 1.0, then sends a crafted HTTP request to /inc/classes/View.php with a SQL-injected ID parameter (e.g., a UNION SELECT payload or boolean-based blind injection string). The application passes the unsanitized value directly into a SQL query, allowing the attacker to enumerate table structures, extract stored credentials or interview candidate PII, and potentially modify or delete application records. A public proof-of-concept demonstrating this technique is available at https://github.com/susususua-AI/CVE/issues/2.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 09, 2026

SQL injection in code-projects Interview Management System 1.0 exposes the application to remote, unauthenticated database manipulation via the ID parameter in /inc/classes/View.php. An attacker with network access can read, modify, or partially disrupt data stored in the underlying database with no authentication required and no user interaction needed. A public exploit exists (referenced via GitHub at https://github.com/susususua-AI/CVE/issues/2), though no active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV as of this analysis.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. Code-projects.org does not maintain a formal security advisory process based on available references. Developers should immediately replace direct SQL string construction in /inc/classes/View.php with parameterized queries using PHP PDO prepared statements or MySQLi bound parameters - this eliminates the root cause. As compensating controls pending a code fix, administrators should restrict external network access to the Interview Management System using firewall rules or reverse proxy ACLs, and deploy a web application firewall (WAF) rule blocking SQL metacharacters (single quotes, comment sequences, UNION/SELECT keywords) in the ID parameter - note that WAF rules add maintenance overhead and may cause false positives on legitimate IDs. If the application is not actively required, taking it offline entirely is the lowest-risk mitigation. Reference: https://vuldb.com/vuln/376952.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Interview Management System 1.0 is a PHP-based web application distributed by code-projects.org, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:code-projects:interview_management_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The wildcard version in the CPE suggests the issue may span multiple releases, though 1.0 is specifically documented. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in an SQL Command): the application fails to sanitize or parameterize the ID argument before incorporating it into a SQL query within /inc/classes/View.php. This is a classic PHP SQLi pattern - likely direct string concatenation rather than use of PDO prepared statements or equivalent parameterized query mechanisms - allowing attacker-controlled SQL syntax to alter query logic.
