| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions are required beyond network reachability of the /form137.php endpoint on a running instance of itsourcecode Student Management System 1.0. The CVSS 4.0 vector confirms PR:N (no authentication required) and UI:N (no user interaction needed), meaning a default installation exposed to any network is sufficient. Exploitation is bounded by the product's niche deployment footprint: only organizations that have deliberately installed this specific PHP application and exposed it to an accessible network interface are at risk. No non-default feature flags, special server configurations, or specific client browsers are required. The primary limiting factor is the rarity of deployment in production environments. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N confirms a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack with no user interaction required - the most permissive exploitation profile. Impact is rated low across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), and no scope change to subsequent systems is indicated. Counterbalancing these permissive access metrics is the very low EPSS score (0.05%, 15th percentile), which suggests that despite the public POC, mass or automated exploitation is not occurring - consistent with a narrow-footprint hobbyist application unlikely to be exposed broadly on the internet. KEV status is not confirmed. The realistic priority is high for any institution that has deployed and publicly exposed this specific application, but the aggregate threat surface across the industry is small. No conflicting signals are present; CVSS and EPSS together paint a picture of an easily exploitable but rarely deployed target. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated remote attacker identifies a publicly accessible instance of itsourcecode Student Management System 1.0, then sends a crafted HTTP GET or POST request to /form137.php with a SQL injection payload embedded in the ID parameter (e.g., ID=1' OR '1'='1). The application constructs a SQL query incorporating the unsanitized value, which the database engine executes, potentially returning all student records or enabling blind injection to enumerate the schema. A public POC lowering exploitation effort is available on GitHub. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 24, 2026
SQL injection in itsourcecode Student Management System 1.0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate the ID parameter in /form137.php, potentially reading, modifying, or deleting underlying database records. A public proof-of-concept exploit has been disclosed on GitHub, lowering the barrier to exploitation. Despite the public POC, the EPSS score sits at just 0.05% (15th percentile), consistent with a niche product attracting little automated or opportunistic attack activity.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. As an immediate compensating control, organizations should restrict network access to /form137.php via web server configuration - for example, applying IP allowlisting or placing the endpoint behind an authenticated reverse proxy - which directly addresses the PR:N, AV:N exploitation path. A web application firewall rule targeting SQL metacharacter injection patterns in the ID parameter can provide an additional detection and blocking layer, though WAF bypass is possible for determined attackers. The definitive fix requires refactoring the affected PHP code to use parameterized queries via PDO or MySQLi prepared statements, eliminating the injection vector at the source. The public POC is available at https://github.com/BUPT424201/CVE/issues/2 and the VulDB entry at https://vuldb.com/?id.338334 for technical reference. No upstream patch version is available to cite.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected product is itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0, a PHP-based web application identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:angeljudesuarez:student_management_system:1.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component), manifesting as classic SQL injection: the application passes user-supplied input from the ID parameter in /form137.php directly into a SQL query without parameterization or sufficient sanitization. This allows an attacker to alter the query's logic and interact with the database backend in unintended ways. The CVSS 4.0 vector (E:P) formally annotates the existence of a public exploit.
