DescriptionGitHub Advisory

PlaciPy is a placement management system designed for educational institutions. In version 1.0.0, User-controlled query parameters are passed directly into DynamoDB query/filter construction without validation or sanitization.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-25814 is a critical injection vulnerability in PlaciPy 1.0.0 that allows attackers to manipulate database queries through unvalidated user input, potentially enabling unauthorized access to student placement records, credential theft, or system compromise. Educational institutions using this system face immediate risk of data breach affecting sensitive student and placement data, with no vendor patch currently available.

Business Impact: Severe

Compensating Controls

Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block injection patterns in query parameters; restrict DynamoDB access to least-privilege IAM roles; enable AWS CloudTrail and DynamoDB query logging with real-time alerting; segment PlaciPy network access to authorized users only via VPN/MFA; disable or restrict query/filter functionality if possible; implement input validation at application layer as temporary mitigation; consider disabling PlaciPy until patch availability confirmed.
