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 · unedited
A vulnerability was found in Campcodes Payroll Management System 1.0 and classified as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /ajax.php?action=delete_employee_attendance_single. The manipulation of the argument ID leads to sql injection. The attack may be initiated 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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in Campcodes Payroll Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through the ID parameter at /ajax.php?action=delete_employee_attendance_single. The delete operation directly incorporates user input into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterized statements.

MitigationImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries for all SQL operations, especially for the ID parameter in delete_employee_attendance_single. Additionally, apply input validation and least-privilege database accounts to limit impact of any injection.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm installed version of Campcodes Payroll Management System
    Locate the application files in your web root and check for version indicators such as a version.php file, README, or any file containing '1.0' as the version string. Check the application's main index page or about page for version information.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0 (Campcodes Payroll Management System)
  2. Verify the vulnerable endpoint file exists
    Check if the file /ajax.php exists in your web application's root directory. This is the file that handles the delete_employee_attendance_single action.
    Affected if The file ajax.php exists in the web root and is accessible via the web server.
  3. Check if delete_employee_attendance_single action is implemented
    Examine the ajax.php source code and look for a case or handler for 'delete_employee_attendance_single'. Search for the string 'delete_employee_attendance_single' within the file.
    Affected if The action 'delete_employee_attendance_single' is present and implemented in ajax.php.
  4. Inspect the SQL query construction for the delete operation
    In ajax.php, locate the code handling the delete_employee_attendance_single action. Check how the ID parameter is incorporated into the SQL DELETE query. Look for whether the code uses prepared statements (prepare, bind_param, execute) or directly concatenates the ID parameter into the query string.
    Affected if The ID parameter is directly concatenated into the SQL query string without using prepared statements or parameter binding.
  5. Verify the application processes user input for the ID parameter
    Check if ajax.php retrieves the ID parameter from the incoming HTTP request (typically via $_GET or $_POST) and passes it directly into the SQL query without sanitization. Look for code like $id = $_GET['id'] or $_POST['id'] being used in the query.
    Affected if The ID parameter is taken from user input (GET/POST) and used in the SQL query without proper escaping or parameterization.

You are affected if you are running Campcodes Payroll Management System version 1.0 and the ajax.php file contains the delete_employee_attendance_single action that uses the ID parameter directly in SQL queries without prepared statements.

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.

Mitigation

Implement prepared statements/parameterized queries for all SQL operations, especially for the ID parameter in delete_employee_attendance_single. Additionally, apply input validation and least-privilege database accounts to limit impact of any injection.
