CWE ID Description
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.
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.

How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:

The SQL injection vulnerability in CodeAstro Leave Management System 1.0 can lead to unauthorized database access, data leakage, and tampering. Such security breaches can result in exposure of sensitive personal or health information, which directly impacts compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.

Failure to protect data adequately due to this vulnerability may lead to violations of confidentiality, integrity, and availability requirements mandated by these standards, potentially resulting in legal penalties and loss of trust.


Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

CVE-2026-8132 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the CodeAstro Leave Management System 1.0, specifically in the /login.php file. It occurs due to improper input validation of the txt_username parameter, which allows attackers to inject malicious SQL queries remotely.

Attackers can exploit this flaw using techniques like boolean-based blind or time-based blind SQL injection to manipulate database queries.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

Exploiting this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to the database, resulting in data leakage, data tampering, or even full control over the affected system.

This poses a serious threat to system security and business continuity.


How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?

This vulnerability can be detected by testing the /login.php endpoint of the CodeAstro Leave Management System 1.0 for SQL injection via the txt_username parameter.

Common detection methods include using boolean-based blind or time-based blind SQL injection techniques to check if the input is improperly sanitized.

You can use tools like sqlmap or manual curl commands to test for injection. For example, a curl command to test might be:

  • curl -X POST -d "txt_username=' OR '1'='1" http://target/LeaveManagement-PHP/login.php
  • Using sqlmap: sqlmap -u "http://target/LeaveManagement-PHP/login.php" --data="txt_username=admin&password=pass" --risk=3 --level=5 --batch
