2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No authentication is required - the vulnerable endpoint |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) characterizes this as a fully remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with no user interaction required - the highest-risk exploitability profile. The E:P supplemental modifier confirms a public exploit exists, further compressing the time-to-exploitation window. Impact metrics are rated Low across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), suggesting the disclosed PoC demonstrates partial database interaction rather than full schema compromise; however, real-world SQL injection impact frequently exceeds initial PoC scope depending on database user privileges. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, and no EPSS score was provided - exploitation appears opportunistic rather than targeted. The product's niche footprint limits broad blast radius, but any internet-exposed instance should be treated as immediately at risk given the public exploit. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 20, 2026
SQL injection in code-projects Employee Management System 1.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate backend database queries via the mailuid parameter at the Admin Login Endpoint (/process/aprocess.php). Successful exploitation can result in authentication bypass, credential extraction, or partial data manipulation depending on database user privileges. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available, materially lowering the technical barrier for opportunistic attacks.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at the time of analysis. As an immediate compensating control, restrict access to /process/aprocess.php to trusted IP ranges using web server access controls (e.g., Apache Require ip directives or nginx allow/deny blocks) - note this may impact legitimate remote administration. Deploying a Web Application Firewall with SQL injection signatures (e.g., ModSecurity with OWASP CRS) can block known attack patterns but may produce false positives on complex login inputs. For operators with PHP source access, replacing string-concatenated queries with PDO prepared statements eliminates the root cause without operational side effects. See https://vuldb.com/vuln/393236 and https://github.com/niaoniaollll/cve/issues/10 for exploit context to validate WAF rule coverage.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected product is code-projects Employee Management System 1.0, a PHP-based web application (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), where the mailuid parameter in /process/aprocess.php - the admin login handler - is concatenated directly into SQL query strings without sanitization or use of parameterized/prepared statements. This is a classic failure at the input boundary of a PHP application's authentication flow, allowing attacker-controlled SQL fragments to alter query logic.
