CVE-2026-13525Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated SQL injection via concatenated emid parameter

Published Jun 29, 2026 · Updated Jun 29, 2026

SQL injection in CodeAstro Human Resource Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to read and alter HR data. The Update_Earn_Leave endpoint passes the emid POST value to Employee_model.php's emselectByCode(), which concatenates it into a quoted MySQL SELECT without binding or sanitization. An authenticated session is required; time-based blind payloads can confirm query execution and expose or modify data available to the application's database account.
