Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-1240-03 - An update for postgresql is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0 Extended Update Support.

Human Resource Management System version 1.0 suffers from a remote SQL injection vulnerability. Original discovery of SQL injection in this version is attributed to Abdulhakim Oner in March of 2023.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N) and the user interaction is required (UI:R). What is the target context of the remote code execution?** An authenticated victim who is connected to the network must be tricked or persuaded to connect to a malicious SQL database using their SQL client application. After the connection is made, the server can send specially crafted replies to the client that exploit the vulnerability and permit execution of arbitrary code within the context of the user's SQL client application.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via OLEDB, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.

**How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability?** An attacker could use the unsanitized parameter into a SQL query to trigger SQL Injection.
