CVE-2025-14571Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated database access via unsanitized roll_number

Published Dec 12, 2025 · Updated Dec 12, 2025

SQL injection in Projectworlds Advanced Library Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to access its MySQL database via roll_number. The borrow_book.php handler inserts the roll_number request parameter directly into an SQL query without sanitization, validation, or parameter binding. No login is required; crafted boolean-, error-, time-, or UNION-based input can read or alter database records and interrupt the service.
