code-projects Content Management System 1.0 /admin/delete.php SQL Injection Vulnerability (CVE-2026-0565)
Executive & SecOps Summary
SECOPS ASSESSMENTcode-projects Content Management System 1.0
Unauthenticated remote attackers can manipulate the 'del' parameter to compromise the database, extract sensitive data, or potentially execute remote code
Restrict external access to the vulnerable admin script and implement parameterized queries (Prepared Statements) in the source code
Affected Products & Version Scope
Remediation & Live Workaround Commands
PATCH & WORKAROUND1. Official Patch & Version Upgrade Commands
As there is no official patch available from the vendor, you must manually remediate the source code by implementing Prepared Statements using PHP PDO:
// Secure implementation using PHP PDO Prepared Statements
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=cms', 'db_user', 'db_password');
$stmt = $db->prepare('DELETE FROM contents WHERE id = :id');
$stmt->execute(array(':id' => $_GET['del']));2. Temporary Workaround & Hardening Configuration
If immediate code modification is not feasible, restrict access to the /admin/ directory at the web server level to authorized IP addresses only:
# Nginx configuration to restrict access to the admin directory
location /admin/ {
allow 10.0.0.0/8; # Replace with your trusted management network
deny all;
}3. Log Audit & IoC Verification Commands
Use the following command to scan web server access logs for potential SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint:
# Scan access logs for SQL injection patterns in the 'del' parameter
grep -i 'delete.php' /var/log/apache2/access.log | grep -E '(union|select|concat|char|sleep|benchmark)'Block Exploits Instantly with Managed Virtual Patching Rules
Can't patch production immediately? Deploy managed WAF rules at the edge to intercept RCE, SQLi, and deserialization payloads before they hit your origin server.
Technical Root Cause & Exploitation Mechanics
1. Vulnerability Overview & Root Cause
A critical SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) has been identified in code-projects Content Management System 1.0. The root cause lies in the insufficient sanitization and lack of parameterization of the del parameter within the /admin/delete.php script. User-supplied input is directly concatenated into SQL queries, allowing arbitrary database command execution.
2. Exploitation Mechanics & Attack Scenario
An unauthenticated remote attacker can target the /admin/delete.php endpoint. By sending a crafted HTTP request containing malicious SQL payloads (such as UNION-based or time-based blind injection) via the del parameter, the attacker bypasses application logic. Since a public exploit is readily available, attackers can easily automate the extraction of database schemas and administrative credentials.
3. Infrastructure & Business Impact
With a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical), this vulnerability poses an extreme risk to organization infrastructure. Successful exploitation can lead to complete database compromise, unauthorized data exfiltration, and potential Remote Code Execution (RCE) via database functions like INTO OUTFILE. This could result in severe data breaches, service disruption, and total system takeover.
Official Vendor Advisories & References
A weakness has been identified in code-projects Content Management System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /admin/delete.php. Executing a manipulation of the argument del can lead to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
