Admin authentication bypass via unsanitized user parameter
Published Apr 13, 2026 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
SQL injection in Code Projects Simple Content Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to bypass admin authentication via the user field. The /web/admin/login.php handler inserts the unsanitized user parameter into its authentication query, so a tautology comments out the password check. No account or user interaction is required; a crafted login grants access to the admin panel, including its content-management functions.
