Authentication bypass via unescaped login parameters
Published Aug 9, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
SQL injection in SourceCodester Employee Management System allows remote attackers to bypass employee authentication via a crafted login request. The eprocess.php login handler places the mailuid and pwd POST values inside two employee-table SELECT statements without parameterization or escaping. No prior authentication or user interaction is required, and a successful Boolean condition grants access as the selected employee account.
