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.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-93979 is an SQL injection vulnerability in code-projects Internship Management System 1.0. The flaw exists in the /employer/login.php file where the Password argument is directly used in an SQL query without sanitization. An attacker can manipulate this input to inject malicious SQL code, such as time-based payloads like 'and (select sleep(8))', allowing unauthorized data access or manipulation.

Detection Guidance

To detect this SQL injection vulnerability, monitor network traffic for unusual SQL queries or delays in responses. Test the /employer/login.php endpoint by injecting payloads like ' and (select sleep(8)) into the Password field and observe if the response time increases significantly.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database. They could extract sensitive data like employer credentials, modify or delete records, or bypass authentication. Since the exploit is public, unpatched systems are at high risk of compromise.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability likely violates GDPR and HIPAA due to unauthorized data access risks. GDPR requires protection of personal data, while HIPAA mandates safeguards for sensitive health information. A successful exploit could lead to data breaches, resulting in legal penalties and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the employer/login.php file to use prepared statements instead of direct SQL query concatenation. Ensure all user inputs are properly sanitized and validated before processing. Consider implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to block SQL injection attempts.
