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 an authenticated session with at least low-level privileges (PR:L) sufficient to reach the administrative endpoint /admin/key.php, and the attacker must supply a manipulated ID parameter to that script. There is no default-unauthenticated path per the CVSS vector; the admin-panel location and required authentication are the primary limiting factors, confining realistic risk to insiders or attackers who have already obtained valid low-privilege credentials. |
| Impact | This is a low-priority, low-real-risk issue despite being a remotely reachable SQL injection (CWE-89). The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) and resulting base score of 2.1 agree with the description: network-reachable and low-complexity, but requiring low privileges (PR:L) and yielding only low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact with no scope change. The E:P value marks the exploit as proof-of-concept, consistent with the publicly available GitHub exploit; there is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score was provided, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The signals are internally consistent - a VulDB-reported, PoC-stage flaw in an obscure PHP application - rather than conflicting. The PR:L requirement is notable: the vulnerable endpoint lives under /admin/ (/admin/key.php), implying the attacker must already hold at least a low-privileged authenticated session, which further limits practical impact. No EPSS probability was supplied, so widespread-scanning likelihood cannot be quantified from the data. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged authenticated user of the Online Admission System sends a crafted value in the ID parameter to /admin/key.php, injecting SQL that the backend executes against the database. Public proof-of-concept exploit code exists (GitHub), but the flaw yields only limited data disclosure and modification rather than full compromise. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 05, 2026
SQL injection in itsourcecode Online Admission System 1.0 allows an attacker who already holds a valid low-privilege session to manipulate the ID parameter of /admin/key.php and inject arbitrary SQL into the backend database. Exploitation is remote but gated behind authentication and access to the administrative endpoint, so it is a low-priority, low-real-risk issue per our assessment; the practical exposure is confined to insiders or attackers who have already obtained credentials. Publicly available exploit code exists, no public exploit has been confirmed as actively exploited, and no CISA KEV entry is associated with this CVE.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis, and none of the supplied references (VulDB entries, the GitHub issue, or the itsourcecode.com site) point to a fixed version, so the code-level fix must be applied by the integrator: rewrite /admin/key.php so the ID argument is passed through a parameterized/prepared statement or strictly validated against an integer allowlist. Until that is done, the most effective compensating control is to remove the exposed administrative surface - restrict /admin/key.php to trusted management networks or VPN-only access via web server ACLs and .htaccess/IP allowlists, accepting that this breaks remote administration from untrusted locations. Enforce strong, unique credentials and least-privilege roles for the admin panel to reduce the chance of the low-privilege session the attack requires, and note that this only raises the bar rather than removing the injection. A WAF rule targeting SQL metacharacters in the ID parameter on /admin/key.php provides interim detection and blocking but is bypassable and can generate false positives on legitimate administrative traffic; additionally, run the application's database account with minimal privileges and disable verbose SQL error output to limit information leakage from failed injections.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The target is a PHP-based web application (itsourcecode Online Admission System, CPE cpe:2.3:a:itsourcecode:online_admission_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* - the CPE uses a wildcard version, so all 1.x builds should be treated as suspect) whose administrative script /admin/key.php accepts an ID argument that is concatenated into a SQL statement without parameterization. This is the classic CWE-89 improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, where user-controlled input reaches the query interpreter instead of being bound as a typed parameter. The vulnerability is reported by VulDB and reproduced publicly through a GitHub issue (ltranquility/submit#28); the supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N, low confidentiality/integrity/availability impact, E:P) aligns with our independent CVSS 3.1 assessment of AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, meaning the SQL injection is genuine but produces limited, non-scoped impact once an authenticated low-privilege foothold exists.
