| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of Student File Management System 1.0. The attack requires the /admin/update_user.php endpoint to be reachable over the network. No user interaction is required. Limits: The admin panel may be restricted in some deployments (e.g., internal network only), which would block exploitation. The impact is limited to low data confidentiality, integrity, and availability per the CVSS vector. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.5 (Medium) reflects a low-complexity, unauthenticated, network-accessible attack with low impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The EPSS score of 0.05% (15th percentile) suggests very low exploitation activity in the wild, and the absence of a CISA KEV entry further supports that active exploitation is not prevalent. While the public exploit code lowers the barrier to attack, the low EPSS and limited impact mean this is a lower-risk issue for most environments. However, if the admin panel is exposed to untrusted networks, the risk increases accordingly. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker identifies a publicly accessible instance of Student File Management System and sends a crafted HTTP POST request to /admin/update_user.php with a malicious user_id value containing SQL injection payloads. Using the public exploit code, the attacker can extract database records (e.g., user credentials) or modify data, compromising the system's confidentiality and integrity. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 27, 2026
SQL injection in Student File Management System 1.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate database queries via the user_id parameter in /admin/update_user.php. Public exploit code is available on GitHub, but the EPSS score (0.05%) indicates low exploitation probability and no active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV). The vulnerability is easy to exploit but yields only limited data confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is available at the time of this analysis. The vendor (code-projects.org) has not issued an official update for version 1.0. As a workaround, implement input validation and parameterized queries for the user_id parameter in /admin/update_user.php. Additionally, restrict network access to the admin panel (e.g., using a firewall or VPN) to minimize exposure. If no security update becomes available, consider migrating to an alternative file management solution with active security support. Note that these workarounds may not eliminate all risk and could affect administrative usability.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a classic SQL injection (CWE-74) caused by improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. The affected product, Student File Management System 1.0 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:fabian:student_file_management_system:1.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), directly incorporates user-supplied input from the user_id parameter into a SQL query without sanitization or parameterization. The PHP-based backend executes the crafted query, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary SQL statements against the underlying database.
