Authenticated SQL injection via unsanitized photo ID
Published Mar 27, 2026 · Updated Mar 27, 2026
SQL injection in Code Projects Social Networking Site 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to manipulate its database through the id parameter. The delete_photos.php endpoint inserts the GET id value directly into a photo-deletion SQL query without validation, neutralization, or parameter binding. A normal user session reaches the endpoint; demonstrated blind and time-based payloads execute attacker-supplied SQL expressions, with resulting data access or modification bounded by the database account's privileges.
