CVE-2023-1850Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Database query manipulation via crafted username

Published Apr 5, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

SQL injection in /admin/login.php in SourceCodester Online Payroll System 1.0 allows remote attackers to manipulate database queries. The login handler fails to neutralize crafted username input before using it in an SQL statement, allowing the input to change query semantics. Published assessments disagree on whether prior privileges are required; demonstrated reachability is through the network-facing login request.
