SQL injection via unparameterized message query
Published Apr 13, 2026 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
SQL injection in Simple ChatBox 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL through the msg parameter in insert.php. The endpoint concatenates the POST msg value directly into an INSERT statement without validation, escaping, prepared statements, or parameter binding. A session from self-registration reaches the chatroom, and injected queries can read, alter, or delete database records.
