Published Nov 7, 2023 · Updated Sep 12, 2024

SQL injection in Projectworlds Online Job Portal 1.0 allows remote attackers to read or alter database data through the login form. The index.php login handler sends the unvalidated txt_uname_email parameter to the database without filtering or neutralizing SQL syntax. No authentication or user interaction is required, and crafted login input can directly expose or modify database records.
