Unauthenticated SQL injection via unsanitized cat parameter
Published Apr 13, 2026 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
SQL injection in Code Projects Lost and Found Thing Management 1.0 allows remote attackers to manipulate database queries via cat. The catageory.php handler incorporates the multipart cat value into an SQL statement without neutralizing quote-delimited input, enabling time-based blind injection. No authentication or user interaction is required; a crafted POST request causes attacker-controlled query evaluation and measurable database delays.
