Unauthenticated SQL injection via direct user_Id query
Published Apr 9, 2026 · Updated Apr 9, 2026
SQL injection in Code Projects Simple IT Discussion Forum 1.0 allows remote attackers to access and alter database data through crud.php. The crud.php deleteuser action inserts the POST user_Id value directly into an SQL query without validation or parameter binding. No login is required; a crafted user_Id executes time-based blind SQL and enables unauthorized database reads or changes.
