Threat & Defense Details
Likely Mitigating ControlsAI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Penetration testing uses SQL injection payloads against database interfaces, identifying and supporting fixes for SQL injection weaknesses.
Developer assessments and testing (including injection-focused techniques) identify improper neutralization of special elements, and the verifiable flaw remediation corrects them pre-deployment.
Validates query inputs to prevent SQL syntax or command manipulation.
Identifies indicators of injection attacks (command, SQL, LDAP, etc.) via anomaly and attack monitoring.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
SQL injection in a remotely accessible web application directly enables exploitation of public-facing apps (T1190) for limited data access/modification.
NVD Description
A security vulnerability has been detected in code-projects Contact Management System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file index.py. Such manipulation of the argument selecteditem[0] leads to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2026-2176 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-89) in code-projects Contact Management System 1.0. The issue affects unknown processing logic in the index.py file, where manipulation of the selecteditem[0] argument enables SQL code injection. The vulnerability has 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), indicating medium severity with network accessibility and low attack complexity.
A remote attacker with low privileges, such as an authenticated user, can exploit this vulnerability without requiring user interaction. Exploitation over the network allows limited impacts, including partial disclosure of confidential information, limited data modification, and limited denial-of-service effects through resource consumption.
