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 /Admin/View/editPlan.php endpoint and supplying a malicious Plan_no or Name parameter that flows into the mysqli_query call; the input CVSS vector asserts no authentication or user interaction (PR:N/UI:N). The primary LIMITING factor is deployment: this is a niche single-developer PHP application with essentially no production footprint, so reachable instances are scarce. A secondary caveat is that the endpoint resides under an /Admin/ path - if a deployment enforces admin authentication (the vector assumes it does not), exploitation would require valid admin access first. No patched version exists (rolling release, unacknowledged report), so no fixed configuration can currently mitigate it at the source level. |
| Impact | This is a classic low-to-moderate priority SQL injection (CWE-89) that scores higher on paper than it warrants in practice. The CVSS 4.0 vector (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) indicates a remotely reachable, low-complexity flaw with no authentication or user interaction, and the E:P (Proof-of-Concept) exploit maturity aligns with the publicly available exploit reference on GitHub. Against this, the impact metrics are all rated Low rather than High, which is unusual for SQL injection (which often yields full database read/write) and suggests VulDB scored impact conservatively. Signals are mild overall: there is NO CISA KEV listing and NO EPSS score in the provided data, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation - only that exploit code exists. The affected product is an obscure individual-developer GitHub project (dhikshitha29/Insurance-Management-System) with no enterprise footprint, which substantially lowers real-world risk regardless of the network vector. One tension to verify: the vulnerable endpoint is /Admin/View/editPlan.php, an administrative path that in most real deployments would sit behind authentication, yet the vector asserts PR:N (unauthenticated) - this likely reflects the project's lack of real access control rather than a genuinely public admin panel, and should be verified against the actual code. Net assessment: a real but low-priority vulnerability, driven by the trivial exploitability of SQLi but heavily discounted by negligible deployment prevalence, absent exploitation evidence, and conservative impact scoring. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker sends a crafted value in the Plan_no or Name parameter to /Admin/View/editPlan.php, which is concatenated unsanitized into a mysqli_query call, injecting arbitrary SQL. A proof-of-concept is publicly available (referenced via the project's GitHub issue tracker), so weaponization effort is minimal. Given the low CVSS complexity (AC:L) and no required interaction, the attacker could enumerate or manipulate insurance plan records in the backing MySQL database. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
SQL injection in the dhikshitha29 Insurance-Management-System PHP application lets remote attackers inject arbitrary SQL through the Plan_no and Name parameters handled by mysqli_query() in /Admin/View/editPlan.php. The application is a niche, single-developer project distributed as a rolling release with no versioned tags, so the exact affected build range cannot be pinned beyond the referenced commits (91de5edda5baa109ad8e9baf03ce6a3ceda84183 and 125362cc21dca20d74091a4913a5096bb58dd837), and no vendor fix exists because the maintainer has not responded to the upstream issue report. Publicly available exploit code exists and the reporter (VulDB) documents the issue publicly, though there is no confirmed evidence of active exploitation (no CISA KEV listing); real-world risk is constrained mainly by the product's very small production footprint, and secondarily by the fact that the vulnerable endpoint sits under an /Admin/ path that some deployments may gate behind admin authentication.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis: the maintainer was notified via the GitHub issue but has not responded, and the rolling-release model means there is no fixed version to upgrade to, so remediation must be compensating. First, rewrite the vulnerable handler to use parameterized queries - replace the string-concatenated mysqli_query() call in /Admin/View/editPlan.php with a prepared statement (mysqli_prepare plus bind_param for Plan_no and Name, then execute) and cast numeric identifiers such as Plan_no to int; this eliminates the flaw at the source but requires you to maintain a local fork since upstream is not patching. Second, if you cannot modify code, block or remove the /Admin/View/editPlan.php route at the web server (e.g., an Apache/nginx location deny rule or a rewrite to 404); the trade-off is loss of the plan-editing feature. Third, place the entire /Admin/ tree behind mandatory authentication and network restriction (VPN or IP allowlist), since the supplied vector assumes no auth requirement (PR:N) and this control removes that assumption for deployments that currently expose the path openly - at the cost of administrative convenience. Fourth, deploy WAF/virtual-patching rules on the Plan_no and Name parameters that reject SQL metacharacters and keyword patterns (UNION, SELECT, SLEEP, comment sequences), accepting the usual false-positive risk on legitimate plan names. Finally, run the application's database account with least privilege (SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE only on the insurance schema, no FILE or multi-statement capability) to cap the blast radius of any successful injection while an upstream fix is pending.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The target is a PHP web application that talks to a MySQL/MariaDB backend through PHP's mysqli extension. In /Admin/View/editPlan.php, user-controlled input from the Plan_no and Name parameters is concatenated directly into a query string that is then passed to mysqli_query(). Because mysqli_query() executes a fully formed SQL string, no separation exists between code and data, which is the textbook root cause of CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command). An attacker who can reach the endpoint can therefore alter the query's structure - for example via UNION-based extraction of other tables (admin credentials, policyholder records, payment data) or boolean/time-based blind inference - with the injected statement executing under the database privileges of the application's connection account. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:dhikshitha29:insurance-management-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses an unconstrained version wildcard, correctly reflecting that this project follows a rolling release with no tagged versions; the affected code is identified only by commit hash. The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N with E:P, and Low confidentiality/integrity/availability impact) is consistent with an unauthenticated network-reachable injection with limited per-request impact, and our independent CVSS 3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) aligns with that reading.

Affected is the function mysqli_query of the file /Admin/View/editPlan.php. Such manipulation of the argument Plan_no/Name leads to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. This product implements a rolling release for ongoing delivery, which means version information for affected or updated releases is unavailable. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
