This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2025-8471, a blind SQL injection vulnerability in the 'projectworlds Online Admission System v1.0'. The main file, 'exploit.c', is a C program that uses libcurl to send HTTP GET requests to the 'adminlogin.php' endpoint with various SQL injection payloads in the 'a_id' parameter. The exploit supports both two-stage and deep injection payloads, including time-based, boolean-based, and union-based SQLi techniques. It compares the response length and HTTP status code of each request to a baseline to detect successful injection. Results are logged to 'result.log'. The exploit is configurable via command-line arguments for the target URL, optional cookies file, and verbosity. The repository also includes a README with usage instructions and references to the CVE and NVD entries. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the user supplies the target base URL at runtime.
