Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-74 | The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. |
| CWE-89 | The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2026-7114 is a time-based blind SQL Injection vulnerability in the Employee Management System 1.0, specifically in the file 370project/edit.php. The vulnerability arises because user input from the 'id' parameter is directly concatenated into an SQL query without proper parameterization or sanitization.
An attacker can exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted requests that cause the database to execute injected SQL commands. This can be confirmed by observing increased response times when a time-delay payload is injected.
The vulnerability allows attackers to infer or extract data, bypass intended query logic to access unauthorized records depending on database privileges, and degrade service availability by executing expensive or time-delay queries.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can impact you by allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data stored in the database, potentially including employee information managed by the system.
Attackers may also disrupt the availability of the service by executing time-delay queries that slow down or degrade the system's performance.
Additionally, depending on the database privileges, attackers might bypass access controls and retrieve or manipulate data they should not have access to.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by performing time-based blind SQL injection tests on the vulnerable endpoint. Specifically, the endpoint is accessed via a GET request to `/edit.php` with the `id` parameter.
A baseline request without injection can be sent as: GET /edit.php?id=101 HTTP/1.1
To verify the vulnerability, a time-delay payload can be injected into the `id` parameter. The payload used is a SQL sleep function encoded for URL usage, such as: (select*from(select+sleep(10)union/**/select+1)a)
When URL-encoded and injected, the request looks like: GET /edit.php?id=<URL_ENCODED_TIME_DELAY_PAYLOAD> HTTP/1.1
If the response time increases by approximately 10 seconds compared to the baseline, it confirms the presence of the SQL injection vulnerability.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
This SQL injection vulnerability allows attackers to perform unauthorized data access and potentially disrupt service availability. Such unauthorized access to sensitive or personal data can lead to violations of data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require strict controls over data confidentiality and integrity.
By enabling attackers to extract or infer data without authorization, the vulnerability increases the risk of data breaches, which can result in non-compliance with these standards and regulations.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
To mitigate the SQL injection vulnerability in the Employee Management System's edit.php file, immediate steps include:
- Avoid directly concatenating user input into SQL queries.
- Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements to safely handle the 'id' parameter.
- Validate and sanitize all user inputs, especially the 'id' parameter used in the GET request.
- Restrict database privileges to limit the impact of a potential SQL injection attack.
- Monitor and analyze server logs for unusual delays or suspicious requests that may indicate exploitation attempts.
- If possible, apply patches or updates provided by the software vendor or review the source code to fix the vulnerability.
