Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-6166 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-89) in code-projects Vehicle Showroom Management System 1.0. The flaw resides in the processing of the file /util/UpdateVehicleFunction.php, where manipulation of the VEHICLE_ID argument enables SQL injection.
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability without authentication privileges, user interaction, or high complexity, as indicated by the CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L (base score 7.3). Exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability through SQL injection.
