AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
SQL injection vulnerability in CodeAstro Payroll System 1.0's home_employee.php allows remote attackers to access and manipulate database data.
Vulnerability
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the home_employee.php file of the CodeAstro Payroll System version 1.0. The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of the emp_id parameter, which is directly incorporated into SQL queries without proper sanitization. This allows for the injection of malicious SQL code.
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely by manipulating the emp_id parameter, likely via a GET request. By injecting crafted SQL statements, an attacker can alter or bypass the intended SQL query logic. The exploit has been made public [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability can lead to unauthorized database access, sensitive data leakage, data tampering, or even complete system control. It poses a significant threat to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and its data [1].
Mitigation
No specific patched version or release date has been disclosed in the available references. Users are advised to apply necessary input validation and sanitization to the emp_id parameter if they are running CodeAstro Payroll System version 1.0. Further information may be available from the vendor [2].

Vulnerability mechanics
Root cause
"The 'emp_id' parameter in '/home_employee.php' is used directly in SQL queries without proper sanitization or validation, enabling SQL injection."
Attack vector
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely by manipulating the 'emp_id' parameter in a GET request to the '/home_employee.php' file. The lack of input validation allows the attacker to inject malicious SQL code, which is then executed by the database. This can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion [ref_id=1].
Affected code
The vulnerability resides in the '/home_employee.php' file, specifically concerning the 'emp_id' parameter. This parameter is directly incorporated into SQL queries without adequate sanitization, as detailed in the vulnerability report [ref_id=1].
What the fix does
The advisory recommends using prepared statements with parameter binding to prevent SQL injection by treating user input as data rather than executable code. Additionally, strict input validation and filtering are advised to ensure user input conforms to expected formats. Minimizing database user permissions and conducting regular security audits are also suggested remediation steps [ref_id=1]. The patch does not show specific code changes, but these measures collectively address the vulnerability.
Preconditions
- networkThe vulnerability is exploitable remotely.
- authThe attack requires low privileges (PR:L).
- inputThe 'emp_id' parameter is manipulated with malicious SQL code.
