CVE-2025-7180Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated authentication bypass via interpolated login input

Published Jul 8, 2025 · Updated Jul 8, 2025

SQL injection in Code Projects Staff Audit System 1.0 allows remote attackers to bypass administrator authentication via a crafted login request. In login.php, POST fields user and pass are interpolated directly into a SELECT statement before mysql_query executes it, without escaping or parameterization. No account is required; injected SQL changes the WHERE predicate so the query selects an administrator row despite incorrect supplied credentials.
