CVE-2026-0700 is a SQL injection flaw in Intern Membership Management System 1.0 from code-projects, in /intern/admin/check_admin.php. NVD scores it 7.3, high severity, and the record says an exploit has been published. No fixed version is listed, so the fix is to correct the query in your copy or take the app offline.
What's affected
- Product: Intern Membership Management System, version 1.0, from code-projects.
- Component: /intern/admin/check_admin.php, parameter Username.
- Fixed version: none listed in the CVE record or the public report. Check the vendor page for any newer release.
- Severity: CVSS 7.3, vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L. The vector lists no privileges required. - Exploitation: the record says exploit details are public. It is not on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list.
How to check if you're exposed
This is source code you host, so first find out whether you run it.
find /var/www -type f -path "*check_admin.php" 2>/dev/null
If the file exists and the site is reachable from the internet, treat it as exposed. Then search your access logs for requests to check_admin.php.
What to do now
- Take the app off the public internet, or put it behind a VPN or an authenticating reverse proxy, until the query is fixed.
- If you keep running it, change the code in check_admin.php so Username reaches the database through a prepared statement (PDO or mysqli) instead of string concatenation.
- Run the database account for this app with only the privileges it needs. It should not own the schema or be able to read other databases.
- Search access logs for unusual requests to check_admin.php and for database errors in the PHP log, then reset any passwords that may have been exposed.
Why it matters
The weakness is CWE-89 (improper neutralization of special elements in an SQL command), a child of CWE-74 (injection). The app builds a query by pasting request data straight into SQL text, so the database cannot tell data from instructions. The public report for this product family describes that exact pattern.
The file name says it all: check_admin.php decides who is an administrator. The researcher report shows the same pattern as the other code-projects bugs in this series, user input placed in SQL text. When the admin gate itself is injectable, the CVSS vector lists no privileges required, and everything behind it is in play.
Quick check
Is there a patch for CVE-2026-0700?
None is listed in the CVE record. Check code-projects for a newer release, and if there is none, fix the query yourself or stop running the app.
What makes an injectable admin check so serious?
It is the gate. If request data can change the query that decides who is an admin, the control that protects the rest of the app is affected.
