Code-Projects Employee Management System SQL Injection Vulnerability

A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in Code-Projects Employee Management System version 1.0. The issue resides in the file 'changepassemp.php', where an unknown function improperly handles user-supplied input, allowing remote attackers to manipulate SQL queries. This vulnerability is exacerbated by the application's verbose error handling, which discloses internal file paths and line numbers, potentially aiding in the exploitation of the SQL injection.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for SQL injection, where an attacker can interfere with the application's database queries. This could lead to unauthorized data access, data manipulation, or in some cases, executing administrative operations on the database.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, send a POST request to 'changepassemp.php' with an invalid or non-numeric 'id' value. The application will respond with a raw PHP error, disclosing the file path and line number, which confirms the presence of the vulnerability. This improper error handling can be exploited to inject malicious SQL payloads.
