CVE-2026-7118Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated SQL injection via unparameterized leave update

Published Apr 27, 2026 · Updated Apr 27, 2026

SQL injection in Code Projects Employee Management System 1.0 allows remote authenticated users to alter leave records through cancel.php. The endpoint inserts the id and token query parameters directly into an SQL UPDATE statement without parameterization. Employee-level access reaches the endpoint; crafted expressions can change leave status, infer database behavior through timing, or delay database operations.
