Security Summary

CVE-2025-2984 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-89) in code-projects Payroll Management System 1.0. The issue affects unknown functionality in the /delete.php file, where manipulation of the emp_id argument enables SQL injection. Published on 2025-03-31, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L).

An attacker with low privileges can exploit this remotely over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption via injected SQL payloads.

Advisories are available via VulDB (ctiid.302036, id.302036, submit.523343), a GitHub repository at github.com/LispTexd/cve/blob/main/cve.md, and the project site at code-projects.org. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be used.
