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 the application is Campcodes Payroll Management SystemIdentify the web application by checking the application name in the HTML source, title tags, or the application's about/admin pages.Affected if The installed application is not Campcodes Payroll Management System version 1.0.
-

-
Check if ajax.php exists in the web rootInspect the web server document root for the presence of the ajax.php file.Affected if The ajax.php file does not exist in the application directory.
-
Verify the save_employee_attendance function is definedExamine the ajax.php source code and search for the function named save_employee_attendance or the action handler that processes the save_employee_attendance action.Affected if The save_employee_attendance function or action handler does not exist in ajax.php.
-
Confirm employee attendance functionality is enabledCheck if there are routes, menus, or links that provide access to the employee attendance management feature within the application.Affected if The employee attendance feature is not accessible or enabled in the application.

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 dataImplement prepared statements/parameterized queries for all database operations involving user input, particularly the employee_id parameter in the save_employee_attendance function. Apply input validation and output encoding as defense-in-depth measures.
