CVE-2026-5238 Details
Description
A weakness has been identified in itsourcecode Payroll Management System 1.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /view_employee.php of the component Parameter Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument ID can lead to sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the itsourcecode Payroll Management System version 1.0, specifically within the view_employee.php file. This issue arises because the application does not properly sanitize or validate the 'id' parameter before using it in SQL queries. As a result, attackers can inject malicious SQL code, potentially leading to unauthorized database access, data manipulation, and other serious security risks. Notably, this vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication.
It is recommended to use prepared statements and parameter binding to prevent SQL injection. Additionally, input validation and filtering should be implemented to ensure that user input conforms to expected formats. Minimizing database user permissions and conducting regular security audits can also help mitigate such vulnerabilities.
