Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /edit_course.php. Executing a manipulation of the argument ID can lead to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0 exposes the /edit_course.php endpoint to unauthenticated remote database manipulation via a malicious id parameter. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms zero-barrier remote exploitation with no authentication or user interaction required, and a public proof-of-concept exploit has been disclosed on GitHub. No active exploitation is confirmed in CISA KEV, though the combination of a public POC and fully unauthenticated attack path elevates practical risk for any internet-exposed deployment.
Technical ContextAI
The affected application is a PHP-based academic scheduling tool distributed by SourceCodester (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:class_and_exam_timetabling_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) identifies the root cause: the id parameter supplied to /edit_course.php is concatenated directly into a backend SQL query without sanitization or parameterized binding, a textbook first-order SQL injection pattern common in tutorial-grade PHP/MySQL applications. Because SourceCodester distributes application source code rather than managed packages, patching relies entirely on manual code-level remediation by whoever deployed the application.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. SourceCodester does not maintain a formal patch channel; the fix must be applied manually at the code level. The primary remediation is to rewrite the SQL query in /edit_course.php to use PDO or MySQLi prepared statements with parameterized queries, which neutralizes the id injection point at its root. As a compensating control, deploy a web application firewall rule to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this endpoint - noting this does not fix the underlying flaw and may be bypassed by obfuscated payloads. Network-level access controls restricting the application to trusted IP ranges or an internal network will prevent unauthenticated internet-facing exploitation but introduce access friction for legitimate users. If the system is not operationally required, taking it offline is the safest posture given the public POC and absence of a vendor patch.
