Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the psubmit.php component of code-projects Employee Management System 1.0. The root cause is the improper neutralization of the 'pid' GET parameter before it is concatenated into an SQL UPDATE statement. An attacker with low-level privileges can exploit this by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the vulnerable endpoint. Successful exploitation allows for time-based blind SQL injection, enabling the attacker to manipulate database queries, modify project records, or infer sensitive data from the database. A public exploit (Proof of Concept) has been released, but no official patch is currently documented.
