Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 31 Aug 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should first identify any deployments of code-projects Human Resource Integrated System version 1.0. Immediate steps include: 1) Implementing strict input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements in the /login_timeee.php script to prevent SQL injection. 2) Deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the emp_id parameter. 3) Monitoring logs for suspicious activity related to the vulnerable endpoint, including unusual query patterns or repeated failed login attempts. 4) Restricting network access to the HR system to trusted internal IPs where feasible to reduce exposure. 5) Engaging with the vendor for patches or updates; if unavailable, consider upgrading to a newer, secure version or migrating to alternative HR management solutions. 6) Conducting security awareness training for IT staff to recognize and respond to exploitation attempts. 7) Regularly backing up HR databases and testing restoration procedures to ensure recovery capability in case of data corruption or loss. These targeted measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific vulnerable parameter and the operational context of the HR system.

Description

A security flaw has been discovered in code-projects Human Resource Integrated System 1.0. This impacts an unknown function of the file /login_timeee.php. Performing manipulation of the argument emp_id results in sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be exploited.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this SQL Injection vulnerability can be significant. Human Resource Integrated Systems typically store sensitive personal data including employee identities, contact details, payroll information, and performance records. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of personal data, violating GDPR and other data protection regulations, potentially resulting in heavy fines and reputational damage. Integrity of HR data could be compromised, leading to payroll errors, falsified records, or disruption of HR operations. Availability could also be affected if attackers execute destructive SQL commands or cause database corruption, impacting business continuity. Organizations relying on this specific version of the code-projects HR system are at risk, especially if they have not implemented compensating controls such as web application firewalls or input validation. The public availability of exploit code increases the likelihood of automated scanning and exploitation attempts, making timely mitigation critical.
