url /admin/login.php↗

command username=vaday%27+or+1%3D1%23&password=password&submit=↗

• → Detect SQL injection auth-bypass attempt: POST to /admin/login.php with a username parameter containing a URL-encoded single-quote and OR 1=1 comment payload (vaday' or 1=1#) ↗
• → Successful exploitation results in HTTP 200 on /admin/dashboard.php with body containing 'Change Password' and 'Old Age Home Management System|| Dashboard' — monitor for unauthenticated access to the dashboard endpoint following a login POST ↗
• → Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded; inspect POST body to /admin/login.php for SQL metacharacters (single-quote, OR, comment sequences) in the username field ↗

• · The Nuclei template requires two sequential requests: first a POST to /admin/login.php with the SQLi payload, then a GET to /admin/dashboard.php to confirm auth-bypass success. Both conditions must be met (HTTP 200 + specific body strings) for a true positive. ↗
• · Vulnerability is unauthenticated (PR:N, UI:N) and network-reachable (AV:N), meaning no prior credentials or user interaction are required for exploitation. ↗
