Sourcecodester CASAP Automated Enrollment System 1.0 is vulnerable to SQL Injection in update_class.php via the parameter class_name.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in Sourcecodester CASAP Automated Enrollment System 1.0 lets remote attackers manipulate backend database queries through the unsanitized class_name parameter of update_class.php. Because the flaw is unauthenticated and network-reachable (CVSS 9.8), an attacker can read, alter, or destroy enrollment records and potentially achieve full database compromise. There is publicly available exploit code exists via a public disclosure write-up, though EPSS remains low at 0.14% (4th percentile), indicating limited observed exploitation activity.
Technical ContextAI
The application is a PHP-based student enrollment web system distributed by Sourcecodester, a repository of small, open-source hobby/educational PHP+MySQL projects. The vulnerability is a classic CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) issue: the update_class.php endpoint concatenates the user-supplied class_name value directly into a SQL statement without parameterization or escaping. Because CASAP uses a MySQL/MariaDB backend accessed through raw PHP queries, an injected payload alters the query's logic, allowing UNION-based extraction, boolean/time-based blind inference, or destructive UPDATE/DELETE operations. The CPE data is uninformative (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a:*) so exact affected component identification relies on the description naming version 1.0.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, as Sourcecodester hobby projects are rarely formally maintained. The primary fix is to rewrite update_class.php to use parameterized queries / prepared statements (PDO or mysqli with bound parameters) for the class_name parameter and all other user inputs, rather than string concatenation. As immediate compensating controls, restrict access to the enrollment application behind authentication and network ACLs, deploy a WAF rule to block SQL metacharacters in the class_name parameter (trade-off: may false-positive on legitimate class names containing quotes), and apply least-privilege database accounts so the web user cannot DROP/ALTER tables (trade-off: does not stop data exfiltration). Given the product's unmaintained nature, migrating off CASAP to a supported enrollment platform is the most durable option.
