SQL injection in Projectworlds Advanced Library Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to access and alter MySQL data. borrowed_book_search.php passes the dateto POST value directly into a SQL query without validation or parameter binding, enabling boolean-, error-, time-, and UNION-based injection. The published request carries a PHP session cookie, although its report separately claims no login is required; demonstrated consequences include database disclosure and tampering.
