How the CVE Works:
CVE-2025-44830 is a SQL injection vulnerability in EngineerCMS versions 1.02 through 2.0.5. The flaw exists in the `/project/addprojtemplet` interface where user-supplied input is directly concatenated into SQL queries without proper sanitization. Attackers can craft malicious payloads containing SQL meta-characters that break out of the intended query structure and execute arbitrary database commands. This allows unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it can be exploited without authentication in default configurations.
