Published Apr 9, 2026 · Updated Apr 9, 2026
SQL injection in Code Projects Simple IT Discussion Forum 1.0 allows remote attackers to read or alter database data via post_id. The /pages/content.php handler inserts the GET parameter directly into an SQL query without validation or parameter binding. No login or user interaction is required; crafted boolean, time-delay, or UNION payloads can expose or modify data available to the application's database account.
