Technical details

A time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability exists in employer/login.php where the password parameter from $_POST is directly concatenated into a SQL query without escaping or prepared statements. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by crafting a payload that breaks out of the SQL string quotes and injects arbitrary SQL commands (e.g., sleep-based time delays) to extract data character by character. A fix requires parameterized queries or prepared statements with proper input sanitization.
