# Employee Recruitment System: SQL injection in registration form lets attackers query database

The krupalshah Employee Recruitment System has an SQL injection flaw in /source/registerform3.php, where the pemail parameter is not sanitized before reaching the database. A remote attacker can send crafted input to read or alter database contents.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check whether the deployment contains `source/registerform3.php` from the krupalshah Employee Recruitment System repository
- Confirm whether the registration form is reachable from the internet
- Version details unknown; the product uses rolling releases and no affected version numbers are given

## Fix

- No vendor fix is available; the maintainer is unresponsive and the product is no longer supported
- Remove or restrict access to the registration page until the parameter handling is fixed with prepared statements
- Rotate database credentials if the instance was exposed
