Vulnerability: Buffer Overflow / NULL Dereference from unsafe fgets handling
Severity: Critical
File: Employee-Management-System/Employee Management System-github.c
CWE: CWE-119

What was fixed

The code repeatedly calls fgets(...) to read user input into fixed-size char arrays and immediately unconditionally does e.field[strlen(e.field)-1] = '\0'. This assumes fgets returned a non-NULL pointer and that the buffer contains at least one character (typically a trailing newline). If fgets returns NULL (EOF or error) the subsequent strlen dereferences NULL (crash). If the input fills the buffer exactly (no newline), removing the last character blindly may remove valid data. If an attacker can control input they can cause undefined behavior, memory corruption, or crashes. Using fflush(stdin) before fgets is undefined behavior and doesn't reliably clear input on all platforms.
