CVE-2023-7096Public exploitNetwork attack vector

SQL execution via concatenated fieldname parameter

Published Dec 25, 2023 · Updated Dec 11, 2025

SQL injection in Code Projects Faculty Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to read and modify database data. The validation action passes the POST fieldname value to functions.php, which concatenates it into an SQL query without neutralization. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrative session and permits database disclosure or modification through injected SQL.
