NVD · unedited
A vulnerability was found in Campcodes Payroll Management System 1.0. It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown function of the file /ajax.php?action=delete_allowances. The manipulation of the argument ID leads to sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack 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

A critical SQL injection vulnerability exists in Campcodes Payroll Management System 1.0 in the /ajax.php?action=delete_allowances endpoint. The ID parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements and implement proper input validation on all user-supplied parameters.

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 Campcodes Payroll Management System version
    Locate the application directory and check version files, README, or installation files. The affected version is 1.0.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0 of Campcodes Payroll Management System
  2. Verify ajax.php exists in the web root
    Check for the presence of ajax.php in the application's web-accessible directory.
    Affected if The ajax.php file exists in the web application root
  3. Locate the delete_allowances action handler
    Open ajax.php and search for the string 'delete_allowances' within the file.
    Affected if A delete_allowances case or action handler is defined in ajax.php
  4. Inspect the ID parameter handling
    Within the delete_allowances section, examine how the 'id' parameter is processed - look for direct inclusion in SQL queries without sanitization functions like mysqli_real_escape_string, parameterized queries, or prepared statements.
    Affected if The ID parameter is used directly in a SQL query without escaping or parameterization
  5. Test the endpoint if safe verification is possible
    If you have a test environment, send a request to /ajax.php?action=delete_allowances&id=1' (use caution in production). Observe if SQL syntax errors are returned or if the application behaves unexpectedly.
    Affected if The application returns SQL errors or exhibits unexpected behavior when special characters are passed in the ID parameter

The environment is affected if Campcodes Payroll Management System version 1.0 is installed and the ajax.php file contains a delete_allowances handler that uses the ID parameter directly in unsanitized SQL queries.
