Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the 'id' parameter of the /process/applyleaveprocess.php file in code-projects Employee Management System 1.0. The application fails to properly sanitize or parameterize the 'id' value before incorporating it into an SQL INSERT statement. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by sending a crafted POST request containing malicious SQL payloads. Successful exploitation allows for unauthorized database manipulation, including data exfiltration or modification. Additionally, the 'id' parameter is reflected in the HTTP Location header, which may facilitate open redirect or response splitting attacks. Public exploit code demonstrating time-based blind SQL injection has been released.
