CVE-2025-6960
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability classified as critical was found in Campcodes Employee Management System 1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /empproject.php. The manipulation of the argument ID leads to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA critical SQL injection vulnerability exists in Campcodes Employee Management System 1.0 at the /empproject.php endpoint. The ID parameter is vulnerable to SQL injection, allowing remote attackers to manipulate database queries. With a CVSS score of 9.8, this flaw could enable unauthorized data access, modification, or potentially remote code execution depending on database configuration.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Campcodes Employee Management System is installedSearch for files named empproject.php or directories containing 'employee management' or 'empproject' in the web root. Check for campcodes references in source code or configuration files.Affected if The application is Campcodes Employee Management System version 1.0
-
Verify the vulnerable endpoint existsLocate the empproject.php file in the web application directory. Check if this file handles HTTP requests.Affected if The file /empproject.php exists and is accessible via the web server
-
Identify the ID parameter processingExamine the empproject.php source code to locate where the ID parameter is received via GET or POST request and passed to database queries without proper sanitization.Affected if The ID parameter is directly used in SQL queries without parameterized statements or input validation
-
Test for SQL injection susceptibilitySend a crafted request to /empproject.php with special SQL characters in the ID parameter (such as single quotes, boolean-based payloads like ' OR '1'='1, or time-based payloads). Observe if database errors are returned or if response times vary significantly.Affected if The application returns database error messages or exhibits different behavior based on SQL injection payloads, indicating untrusted input is being executed as SQL code
The environment is affected if Campcodes Employee Management System version 1.0 is installed and the /empproject.php endpoint processes an ID parameter without using prepared statements or input validation, allowing SQL injection attacks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImmediate remediation requires converting the vulnerable SQL queries to use prepared statements/parameterized queries. Additional security controls include implementing Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules and conducting a comprehensive code audit to identify similar injection points across the application.
