CVE-2025-11667Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Database access via unparameterized candidate first name

Published Oct 13, 2025 · Updated Oct 14, 2025

SQL injection in Code Projects Automated Voting System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to access or alter records via firstname. The candidate-add handler in /admin/add_candidate_modal.php places the multipart firstname value directly into an SQL query without sanitization or parameter binding. An authenticated administrative session is required, and the demonstrated time-based blind payload can extract database contents or alter records within the application's database privileges.
