Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-7180 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in code-projects Staff Audit System 1.0, affecting the processing of the /login.php file. The issue arises from improper handling of the "User" argument, classified under CWE-74 and CWE-89. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) and was published on 2025-07-08.
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability without authentication by manipulating the User parameter in requests to /login.php, enabling SQL injection attacks. Successful exploitation grants low-level impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption within the application's database.
Advisories from VulDB (ctiid.315119, id.315119) and a GitHub repository (kn1g78/cve staff1/staff1.md) document the vulnerability, with the exploit publicly disclosed and available for use. The software's site at code-projects.org provides context, but no specific patches or mitigations are detailed in the available references.
