Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in CodeAstro Payroll System 1.0 within the /home_employee.php file (and potentially view_account.php). The root cause is the improper neutralization of the 'emp_id' GET parameter before it is used in a database query. A remote attacker with low privileges (authenticated user) can provide malicious SQL commands to perform boolean-based blind, error-based, or UNION-based attacks. Successful exploitation allows for unauthorized database access, sensitive data exfiltration, and potential data tampering. A public exploit (PoC) using sqlmap has been disclosed. No official patch is currently noted, but remediation should involve using prepared statements with parameterized queries.
