CVE-2026-0700: code-projects Intern Membership Management System check_admin.php SQL injection
CVE-2026-0700 is an SQL injection flaw (CWE-89) in the file /intern/admin/check_admin.php of code-projects Intern Membership Management System 1.0, triggered through the Username argument and reachable remotely. NVD rates it critical with a CVSS base score of 9.8, and the record says a public exploit has been disclosed. The record does not show the flaw in the CISA KEV catalog, and no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation appears in the sources consulted.
Overview
The record describes an SQL injection flaw (CWE-89) in the file /intern/admin/check_admin.php of code-projects Intern Membership Management System 1.0. According to the description, manipulating the Username argument can lead to SQL injection, and the attack can be carried out remotely.
Impact
- If exploited, an attacker could potentially read, alter or delete database content, depending on how the application and database are configured. This is an inference from the CWE class and the description, not a verified outcome.
- NVD assigns a CVSS base score of 9.8 (critical) with high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability.
- VulDB and its CNA record list lower scores, between 5.5 and 7.5, under other CVSS versions. The severity therefore depends on the scoring source.
- SSVC data in the record shows exploitation status poc, automatable yes and partial technical impact.
Affected products and versions
- Two product names appear in the record: Carmelo Intern Membership Management System and Code-projects Intern Membership Management System.
- The only version listed for both is 1.0.
- The record contains no fixed version and no vendor patch information.
Exploitation status
- The CISA KEV catalog does not list this CVE in the record, so active exploitation is not confirmed by that source.
- No confirmed exploitation in the wild appears in the sources consulted.
- The record states that an exploit has been publicly disclosed and references a third-party write-up. Public proof-of-concept availability is therefore documented, but the record does not show how widely it is used.
- The EPSS probability in the record is 0.00441 (percentile 0.37268), a low predicted likelihood of exploitation at the record date.
Remediation and mitigation
- No vendor fix appears in the record. Check with the project maintainers or the product source for an updated release, and treat the 1.0 version as unpatched until proven otherwise.
- Restrict access to /intern/admin paths to trusted networks or authenticated users, and remove the application from internet exposure if it is not needed.
- Ask developers to review database queries that use user-supplied input and to apply parameterized queries and strict input validation.
- Consider a web application firewall as a temporary compensating control, with the understanding that it does not replace a code fix.
Detection guidance
- Review web server logs for unusual or repeated requests to check_admin.php, especially those with abnormal Username values or unexpected response sizes.
- Watch for database error messages returned to clients and for unexpected administrative logins.
- Check authentication logs for successful logins from unfamiliar sources after any suspicious activity.
Limitations of the available information
- The record does not identify the exact vulnerable code, the affected parameter handling or the authentication requirements for the endpoint.
- The record does not include a fixed version, vendor advisory or patch.
- The EPSS date in the record is later than the publication date, so the EPSS value should be checked against the current source before use.
- Scores from different CNAs and CVSS versions differ, and this analysis does not resolve that difference.
