Authenticated database disclosure via concatenated pid parameter
Published Jul 14, 2025 · Updated Jul 5, 2026
SQL injection in SemCms 5.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read and alter database data through the pid parameter. Line 34 of SEMCMS_Categories.php directly concatenates the untrusted pid value into an SQL statement, enabling boolean-blind query injection. Exploitation requires access to the administrative endpoint and a valid session cookie; the published demonstration extracts database metadata through response differences.
