Researchers find SQL injection to bypass airport TSA security checks
Researchers Ian Carroll and Sam Curry discovered the vulnerability in FlyCASS, a third-party web-based service that some airlines use to manage the Known Crewmember (KCM) program and the Cockpit Access Security System (CASS). KCM is a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) initiative that allows pilots and flight attendants to skip security screening, and CASS enables authorized pilots to use jumpseats in cockpits when traveling.

I'm curious what they are using. It's pretty hard to set up modern frameworks so bad they'll allow that stuff. I mean it's possible, but significantly harder than doing it right.
modern frameworks

Yeah, I know. But it would be interesting to know what they used.
Looks like regular PHP.
The language of the gods!
