Administrator login bypass via credential SQL injection

Published Oct 14, 2022 · Updated Apr 14, 2025

SQL injection in SourceCodester Simple Online Public Access Catalog 1.0 allows remote attackers to bypass the administrator login. The Actions.php login handler passes attacker-controlled username and password values into a database query without neutralizing SQL syntax. No authentication or user interaction is required; a tautology submitted in the credential fields grants access to administrative catalog functions.
