CVE-2022-3973Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated SQL injection via raw admin query

Published Nov 13, 2022 · Updated Apr 14, 2025

SQL injection in /admin/admin.php in Pingkon HMS-PHP allows remote attackers to manipulate database queries via uname or pass. The handler inserts attacker-controlled uname and pass values directly into a database statement without filtering or parameterization. No authentication is required, and the published proof of concept demonstrates time-based query execution against the administrative endpoint.
