Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of Student Management System version 1.0. The attacker only requires network access to the /new_school_year.php endpoint. No elevated privileges, user interaction, or non-default settings are necessary, though the low impact limits the exploitation outcome.

Impact

CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.5 (medium) with low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, combined with a very low EPSS probability of 0.05% (15th percentile), indicates minimal real-world exploitation risk. Publicly available exploit code exists but no active exploitation is reported. The network-accessible, unauthenticated nature is offset by the limited damage potential, making this a lower-priority finding unless the system is directly exposed to untrusted users on an open network.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated remote attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to /new_school_year.php containing an SQL payload in the sy parameter. The malicious input is concatenated directly into a database query, enabling data extraction (such as student records or credentials) or data manipulation. The availability of a public proof-of-concept lowers the skill barrier for potential attackers.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 26, 2026

SQL injection vulnerability in itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0 allows remote attackers to manipulate database queries via the sy parameter in /new_school_year.php. Exploit code is publicly available, though no active exploitation has been confirmed by CISA KEV. The low EPSS score (0.05%) suggests limited exploitability in practice.

RemediationAI

No official vendor patch has been identified for this vulnerability. As an immediate workaround, developers should sanitize the sy parameter using parameterized queries or prepared statements in /new_school_year.php. Input validation (e.g., allowing only expected characters) can reduce risk. Access to the affected endpoint should be restricted to authenticated and authorized users only, but this does not fully eliminate SQL injection threats from internal actors. Consider migrating away from unmaintained software in the long term.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in a PHP web application where user-supplied input to the sy parameter is improperly neutralized before being used in a SQL query, falling under CWE-74. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:angeljudesuarez:student_management_system:1.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, a niche project hosted on itsourcecode. The attack vector is via the /new_school_year.php endpoint, which likely handles school year creation, and the lack of parameterized queries permits classic SQL injection.
