CVE-2024-22983Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Privilege escalation via unescaped visitor name insertion

Published Feb 28, 2024 · Updated Jul 9, 2026

SQL injection in Projectworlds Visitor Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges through myform.php. The endpoint inserts the unescaped name parameter directly into a quoted SQL INSERT statement, so an apostrophe closes the value and appends attacker-controlled SQL. A low-privileged application session is required; the injected SQL can read or alter database data, while the published assessment reports no service interruption.
