MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires reaching the confirm.php endpoint of an itsourcecode Online Admission System Project 1.0 instance and supplying a malicious value in the 'ID' parameter, which is passed into a SQL query without sanitization. Per the CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:L), a low-privilege authenticated session is required, which limits fully anonymous exploitation; no user interaction is needed (UI:N). Practical risk is further constrained by the product's limited deployment - it is a tutorial/sample application rather than widely deployed enterprise software - and by the need for the vulnerable instance to be network-reachable. |
| Impact | This is a classic SQL injection (CWE-89) in a small open-source PHP application, reported by VulDB, and the real-world risk is LOW-to-MODERATE despite public exploit availability. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation but requires low-privilege authentication (PR:L), and the impact is rated only partial across confidentiality, integrity and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), yielding a modest 5.3 score. The 'E:P' in the vector plus the GitHub issue reference confirm publicly available exploit code exists, but this is NOT the same as active exploitation: the CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and no EPSS score was provided in the input, so widespread or automated exploitation cannot be inferred. The dominant risk-limiting factor is the product itself - itsourcecode projects are tutorial/sample applications with negligible enterprise deployment, so even a public PoC is unlikely to translate into broad real-world attacks. Signals are internally consistent (no CVSS-vs-description conflict), but note that PoC availability and the full database impact typical of SQLi could justify a higher impact rating than the vendor's L/L/L; treat the 5.3 as a floor rather than a ceiling. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privilege account on an exposed Online Admission System instance sends an HTTP request to confirm.php with a crafted 'ID' parameter, injecting SQL to read or alter admission database records. Public exploit code is already available via a GitHub issue, lowering the skill barrier, and the low attack complexity means no special timing or environmental conditions are needed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 02, 2026
SQL injection in the ID parameter processed by confirm.php in itsourcecode Online Admission System Project 1.0 lets an authenticated remote user with only low privileges inject arbitrary SQL into backend queries and read or alter the underlying database. The flaw is a textbook CWE-89 case in a small open-source PHP sample/tutorial application, and the required low-privilege session (CVSS 4.0 PR:L, UI:N) plus the product's limited real-world deployment keep practical risk at LOW-to-MODERATE despite the public availability of exploit code. No CISA KEV entry indicates confirmed active exploitation, but a public proof-of-concept has been released (referenced via the VulDB report and a GitHub issue), so any internet-reachable instance should be treated as exposed. The assessed impact is limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss (CVSS 5.3), not full system compromise.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at the time of analysis - the reference set contains only the VulDB advisory, its CTI/CVE mirrors, the submission record, and a public exploit issue (https://github.com/ylc2024/cve/issues/1), with no vendor fix commit, tagged release, or fixed-version advisory. Primary remediation is therefore code-level: rewrite the ID handling in confirm.php to use parameterized queries or prepared statements (PDO/mysqli with bound parameters) and validate that ID is strictly numeric before it reaches the query; this removes the injection sink entirely and is the only durable fix. Until that fix is applied, apply compensating controls with their trade-offs: remove or rename confirm.php if the application is deployed in production rather than a lab (breaks the confirmation workflow but eliminates the exposed sink), restrict access to the endpoint via web-server ACLs, .htaccess, or a reverse-proxy rule so only trusted administrative networks can reach it (reduces exposure but does not fix the code and can block legitimate users), and deploy WAF rules targeting SQL metacharacters and common injection patterns in the ID parameter (catches many but not all payload variants and requires tuning to avoid false positives). Because exploitation requires a low-privilege authenticated session, enforce least privilege and review accounts that can log in, and rotate database credentials if compromise is suspected. If the application is only used as a learning sample, keep it off internet-reachable infrastructure; monitor the VulDB advisory page (https://vuldb.com/vuln/412915) and the itsourcecode.com site for a future vendor patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Online Admission System is a PHP-based web application distributed by itsourcecode.com, typically used as a learning/sample project rather than enterprise software. The vulnerable component is confirm.php, which takes the user-supplied 'ID' argument and concatenates it into a SQL statement without parameterization or input validation - the root cause class is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command). Because the sink is a remote, network-facing PHP script, an attacker who can reach confirm.php can craft ID values that break out of the intended query context and execute arbitrary SQL against the application's database. The provided CPE (cpe:2.3:a:itsourcecode:online_admission_system_project:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) uses a wildcard version, meaning no specific fixed release is mapped in the CPE dictionary. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N, with E:P) confirms low attack complexity, no user interaction, and a low-privilege prerequisite, while the scope and subsequent-system metrics (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) indicate the impact stays within the vulnerable component. The independent assessment maps this to CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, consistent with a constrained, authenticated SQL injection rather than an unauthenticated full-database takeover.
