## Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in CodeAstro Payroll System 1.0 within the /view_account.php and /update_account.php components. The root cause is the failure to properly sanitize or validate the 'id' parameter before using it in a database query. An attacker with low-level privileges can send a specially crafted HTTP POST request containing malicious SQL commands (such as time-based blind payloads). Successful exploitation allows for unauthorized database access, data leakage, and potential modification of payroll records. The vulnerability has been confirmed via public proof-of-concept exploits using tools like sqlmap.
