CVE-2024-4793 Overview
CVE-2024-4793 is a SQL injection vulnerability in Campcodes Online Laundry Management System 1.0. The flaw resides in the /manage_laundry.php endpoint, where the id parameter is passed directly into a database query without proper sanitization. Remote attackers with low-privileged access can manipulate the id argument to execute arbitrary SQL statements against the backend database. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed with VulDB identifier VDB-263892, and exploit details are available in the public domain. The weakness maps to [CWE-89] Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command.
Critical Impact
Authenticated remote attackers can inject arbitrary SQL through the id parameter of /manage_laundry.php, potentially disclosing, modifying, or destroying database contents.

Technical Details for CVE-2024-4793
Vulnerability Analysis
The vulnerability is a classic SQL injection [CWE-89] affecting the manage_laundry.php script in Campcodes Online Laundry Management System 1.0. The application concatenates the user-supplied id request parameter into a SQL query without parameterization or input validation. An attacker with network access and low-level authenticated privileges can supply crafted SQL syntax through the id argument to alter query logic. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized read and write access to laundry records, user credentials, and other application data. The public disclosure lowers the barrier for opportunistic exploitation against exposed installations.
Root Cause
The root cause is the direct inclusion of the id HTTP parameter in a SQL statement without prepared statements, parameterized queries, or input filtering. PHP scripts in the affected component do not apply escaping functions or type casting before passing the value to the MySQL query interface.
Attack Vector
Exploitation occurs remotely over HTTP. An authenticated attacker sends a crafted GET or POST request to /manage_laundry.php with a malicious value in the id parameter. Payloads such as boolean-based, union-based, or time-based blind SQL injection strings can be used to extract data or manipulate records. The vulnerability manifests when the manipulated id value reaches the vulnerable query handler. See the GitHub CVE Documentation for the disclosed proof-of-concept details.
Detection Methods for CVE-2024-4793
Indicators of Compromise
- HTTP requests to /manage_laundry.php containing SQL metacharacters such as ', --, UNION SELECT, SLEEP(, or OR 1=1 in the id parameter.
- Unexpected database errors or verbose SQL error messages in web server logs correlated with requests to the manage_laundry endpoint.
- Abnormal outbound queries or spikes in database CPU tied to sessions accessing manage_laundry.php.
Detection Strategies
- Deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules that inspect the id parameter on /manage_laundry.php for SQL injection signatures.
- Enable query logging on the backend MySQL server and alert on queries containing tautologies, UNION operators, or time-delay functions issued by the laundry application user.
- Correlate authentication events with anomalous request patterns to identify low-privileged accounts abusing the endpoint.
Monitoring Recommendations
- Ingest web server and database logs into a centralized analytics platform and build detections for SQL injection patterns targeting manage_laundry.php.
- Monitor for repeated failed queries or long-running queries originating from the application service account.
- Track authenticated session activity for unusual volumes of requests to administrative laundry management endpoints.
How to Mitigate CVE-2024-4793
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict network access to the Campcodes Online Laundry Management System 1.0 web interface, allowing only trusted management networks.
- Disable or remove access to /manage_laundry.php until a fix is validated, if the endpoint is not required for daily operations.
- Rotate credentials for any accounts that have logged into the affected system since deployment, given the SQL injection exposure.
Patch Information
As of the last NVD update on 2026-06-17, no vendor advisory or official patch from Campcodes has been published for CVE-2024-4793. Administrators should track the VulDB entry #263892 and the Campcodes vendor site for future updates, and consider retiring the affected application if no fix is released.
Workarounds
- Place the application behind a WAF configured to block SQL injection payloads against the id parameter of /manage_laundry.php.
- Modify the vulnerable script to use parameterized queries via PDO or mysqli prepared statements, and cast id to an integer before database use.
- Apply least-privilege permissions to the database account used by the application, removing DROP, ALTER, and FILE privileges to limit exploitation impact.
# Example WAF rule (ModSecurity) blocking SQLi on manage_laundry.php id parameter
SecRule REQUEST_URI "@contains /manage_laundry.php" \
"chain,phase:2,deny,status:403,id:1004793,msg:'CVE-2024-4793 SQLi attempt'"
SecRule ARGS:id "@detectSQLi" "t:none"
