A SQL Injection vulnerability was discovered in the askquery.php file of CloudClassroom-PHP Project v1.0. The squeryx parameter accepts unsanitized input, which is passed directly into backend SQL queries.
AnalysisAI
CVE-2025-46179 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in CloudClassroom-PHP Project v1.0's askquery.php file, where the 'squeryx' parameter is passed directly into SQL queries without sanitization. This affects all installations of CloudClassroom-PHP v1.0 and allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to complete database compromise including data exfiltration, modification, and denial of service. The vulnerability has a CVSS 9.8 score reflecting its network-based exploitability with no authentication or user interaction required; active exploitation status and POC availability are unknown from the provided data.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability exists in CloudClassroom-PHP Project v1.0, a web-based classroom management system written in PHP. The root cause is classified as CWE-89 (SQL Injection), a classic input validation flaw where user-supplied data from the 'squeryx' parameter is concatenated directly into SQL query strings without parameterized queries, prepared statements, or input validation. This occurs in the askquery.php file, suggesting the vulnerability is in a query/question handling endpoint. The affected technology stack includes PHP as the server-side language and likely MySQL/MariaDB as the database backend. The lack of prepared statement usage or input sanitization functions (such as mysqli_real_escape_string or, preferably, parameterized queries with bound parameters) allows attackers to inject arbitrary SQL syntax.
RemediationAI
Immediate actions: (1) Disable or restrict network access to askquery.php and related query endpoints until patching is complete; (2) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect/block SQL injection attempts (keywords: UNION, SELECT, OR 1=1, DROP, EXEC, etc.); (3) Monitor database logs for suspicious query patterns. Proper fixes: (1) Refactor askquery.php to use prepared statements with parameterized queries in PHP (mysqli_prepare/execute or PDO prepared statements) for all database interactions involving the 'squeryx' parameter; (2) Implement input validation and type-checking for the 'squeryx' parameter before any database operation; (3) Apply principle of least privilege—database user account running queries should have minimal permissions (SELECT-only if possible); (4) Check for available patches from CloudClassroom-PHP project repository (likely GitHub); if none available, consider migrating to maintained alternative. No specific patch version is provided, so contact the vendor or check the project's issue tracker.
