CVE-2025-9740
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 was found in code-projects Human Resource Integrated System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /log_query.php. The manipulation of the argument ID results in sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been made public and could 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 confidenceThe Human Resource Integrated System 1.0 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in /log_query.php where the ID parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in database queries. An attacker can exploit this by injecting malicious SQL statements through the ID parameter, potentially allowing unauthorized access to, modification, or deletion of database contents.

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.
-
Verify the application is installedLocate the Code Projects Human Resource Integrated System installation and confirm the version number matches 1.0Affected if The installed version is 1.0 of Code Projects Human Resource Integrated System
-
Confirm log_query.php existsSearch the web root directory for the file log_query.phpAffected if The file /log_query.php exists in the application directory
-
Check if the ID parameter is processedExamine the log_query.php file and locate the code that handles the ID parameter from user input (GET/POST request)Affected if The ID parameter from user input is directly used in SQL queries without visible sanitization or prepared statements
-
Test the vulnerable parameterSend a crafted HTTP request to log_query.php with a test value in the ID parameter (e.g., ID=1' OR '1'='1) and observe the application's response for SQL syntax error messages or unexpected behaviorAffected if The application returns SQL error messages or displays different content based on injected SQL syntax in the ID parameter
You are affected if Code Projects Human Resource Integrated System 1.0 is running and the ID parameter on log_query.php processes user input directly into SQL queries without prepared statements or sanitization.

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 dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with prepared statements/parameterized queries, or implement proper input validation and escaping for the ID parameter in log_query.php. Additionally, apply the principle of least privilege to the database user account used by the application.
