Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the 'changepassemp.php' file of code-projects Employee Management System 1.0. The application fails to properly sanitize the 'id' parameter before using it in a database query, allowing an attacker to manipulate SQL statements. By providing a crafted 'id' value, a remote authenticated attacker can trigger database errors that disclose internal file paths or execute time-based blind SQL injection attacks. This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information from the database, including user passwords. A public exploit involving a sleep-based payload has been disclosed.
