Unauthenticated SQL injection via Category parameter

Published Feb 25, 2026 · Updated Feb 25, 2026

SQL injection in /admin/add-category.php in itsourcecode.com News Portal Project 1.0 allows remote attackers to alter database queries. The endpoint incorporates the attacker-controlled Category parameter into a database operation without neutralizing SQL syntax, allowing the query structure to be changed. No authentication or user interaction is required; the published assessments bound the effect to application-database confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
