Summary
krupalshah EmployeeRecruitmentSystem, up to commit 922ff6d, is affected, and version details are not available because the vendor uses rolling releases. The Registration Wizard in /source/registerform2.php passes university, institute, branch, degree, status, cpi, semester and experience values into an SQL query via mysql_query without neutralizing them (CWE-89). A remote attacker can inject SQL without authentication. A public exploit is linked in the references.
