## Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in SourceCodester Simple POS and Inventory System 1.0 within the '/user/search.php' and '/user/search_result.php' endpoints. The 'Name' POST parameter in 'search.php' and the 'id' GET parameter in 'search_result.php' are directly interpolated into SQL queries without sufficient sanitization or the use of prepared statements. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can provide crafted SQL payloads (such as UNION-based queries) to bypass authentication or extract sensitive data, including MD5 password hashes from the 'user' table. Additionally, the application is reportedly susceptible to reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) as database-sourced values are rendered in the UI without proper output encoding.
