| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires reaching the administrative script /admin/creteria.php and supplying a malicious value in the 'ID' GET/POST parameter, which is passed unsanitized into a SQL query. The CVSS vector states PR:N (no authentication), but because the file resides under /admin/, real-world exploitation most likely requires either that the admin area is deployed without access control or that the attacker already holds an administrative/authenticated session - a significant limiting factor defenders should confirm. Impact is further bounded by the product's rare deployment and by database privileges granted to the application account. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity SQL injection (CVSS 4.0 base 5.5) in a niche student/hobby PHP application. The CVSS vector claims network, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) with limited impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L). The E:P temporal metric and the public GitHub issue reference confirm a proof-of-concept exists, so the exploitation signal is 'publicly available exploit code exists' - NOT active exploitation. There is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score was provided in the input, so widespread automated exploitation cannot be confirmed from the data. CONFLICT TO VERIFY: the CVSS vector asserts PR:N (unauthenticated), yet the affected endpoint is /admin/creteria.php, which conventionally sits behind an administrative login - this is a common over-rating in auto-generated VulDB entries and should be verified against the actual application, as true unauthenticated access to an admin script would materially raise risk. On balance this is a low-real-risk issue: credible POC but a rarely deployed product and modest impact ratings, making it a patch-when-convenient item rather than an emergency, absent evidence the specific admin panel is internet-exposed without auth. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker sends a crafted value in the 'ID' parameter to /admin/creteria.php, injecting SQL that the backend executes against the MySQL database, enabling extraction or manipulation of admission records. A public proof-of-concept is referenced in the disclosure (GitHub issue), lowering the skill needed. Realistic impact depends on whether the /admin/ path is reachable without authentication, which the CVSS vector claims but the admin path casts into doubt. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 05, 2026
SQL injection in itsourcecode Online Admission System 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL through the 'ID' parameter of /admin/creteria.php, potentially reading or modifying the underlying database. The vulnerable script is located under the /admin/ path, so although the published CVSS 4.0 vector indicates PR:N (no authentication), real-world exploitation most likely requires either an admin area deployed without access control or an existing administrative session. Publicly available exploit code exists and the flaw was disclosed publicly, but there is no CISA KEV entry and no observed evidence of active exploitation; assessed severity is medium (CVSS 4.0 base 5.5).
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis, so defenders should not wait for an upstream release and should instead treat /admin/creteria.php as untrusted code. The most direct fix is code-level: in /admin/creteria.php, replace the dynamic query that consumes 'ID' with a parameterized/prepared statement or, at minimum, coerce ID to an integer before use; because this is a source-distributed application, the change must be applied and re-deployed by the site owner. As compensating controls with explicit trade-offs: (1) block public access to the entire /admin/ directory via a reverse-proxy IP allowlist or web-server/htaccess deny rules and require an authenticated session - this defeats remote exploitation but prevents legitimate remote administration; (2) enforce strong authentication on the admin area if it must remain reachable, since the CVSS 4.0 PR:N rating is not reliable given the /admin/ path; (3) run the application's database account with least privilege (SELECT-only on the tables it actually reads, no FILE, no stacked-query or multi-statement capability) to cap the impact of any successful injection - this can break legitimate write operations performed by the admissions workflow; and (4) deploy WAF rules or middleware that match classic SQLi patterns in the 'ID' parameter and log/alert on them, accepting the usual false-positive and encoding-bypass limitations. Given that exploit code is publicly available, prioritize restricting /admin/ exposure and reviewing database and web logs for anomalous queries against creteria.php. Monitor the vendor site (https://itsourcecode.com/) and the VulDB entry (https://vuldb.com/vuln/413421) for a patched release.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This is a classic SQL injection in a PHP web application. The file /admin/creteria.php takes an attacker-controllable 'ID' argument and passes it into a backend SQL query without sanitization, allowing an attacker to alter query logic, extract data, or tamper with records. The assigned CWE-74 ('Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component' - the generic injection parent class) covers the root-cause family; the concrete weakness is SQL injection (the CWE-89 subtree), caused by string concatenation of user input into dynamically built SQL rather than parameterized statements. The Intel tag set confirms the PHP and SQLi technology context. The affected component is the widely copied 'Online Admission System' 1.0 source release distributed by itsourcecode.com, a niche educational/hobby PHP project; no CPE identifiers were supplied in the feed, so the affected version is established from the description (1.0) rather than from structured CPE data. Because the vulnerable endpoint lives under /admin/, the practical attack surface depends on how the deployment exposes the admin directory, and the blast radius is bounded by the privileges of the database account the application uses.
