Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A weakness has been identified in SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0. This impacts an unknown function of the file /archive3.php. This manipulation of the argument sy causes sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the 'sy' parameter in /archive3.php to execute arbitrary database queries. Publicly available exploit code exists, increasing immediate risk to any exposed deployment, though no CISA KEV listing or EPSS data has been provided to indicate widespread active exploitation. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.3 rating reflecting network reachability with no authentication or user interaction required.
Technical ContextAI
The affected product is a PHP-based open-source web application from SourceCodester used in academic environments to manage class and exam scheduling. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), meaning the 'sy' GET/POST parameter passed to /archive3.php is concatenated into a SQL query without parameterization or proper sanitization. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:class_and_exam_timetabling_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates all versions of the product are within scope as published, and the underlying stack is typical LAMP (PHP + MySQL) as confirmed by the PHP tag.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - SourceCodester projects are typically community-distributed source samples and rarely receive coordinated security releases. Operators should immediately modify /archive3.php to use prepared statements (PDO or mysqli with bound parameters) for the 'sy' argument, and audit other parameters across the codebase for the same pattern since CWE-89 vulnerabilities are usually systemic in this class of application. As compensating controls, restrict access to the application via IP allowlisting or VPN (trade-off: blocks legitimate remote users), deploy a WAF with SQLi rulesets in front of /archive3.php (trade-off: may produce false positives on legitimate scheduling queries), or take the instance offline if it is non-production. Refer to https://vuldb.com/vuln/369104 and the public exploit detail at https://github.com/ssaaaa1234/cve/issues/3 to identify exact payload shapes for WAF rule tuning.
