Sourcecodester Online Thesis Archiving System v1.0 is vulnerable to SQL injection in the file /otas/admin/curriculum/manage_curriculum.php.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in Sourcecodester Online Thesis Archiving System v1.0 at /otas/admin/curriculum/manage_curriculum.php allows authenticated high-privileged administrators to extract sensitive database information through unsanitized query parameters. With a CVSS score of 2.7 and EPSS of 0.01% (2nd percentile), this vulnerability presents minimal real-world risk despite valid SQL injection mechanics, as exploitation requires admin-level credentials and yields only confidentiality impact. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a classic SQL injection (CWE-89) flaw in a PHP-based web application. The affected file manage_curriculum.php fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before incorporating it into SQL queries, likely through inadequate use of prepared statements or input validation. SQL injection occurs when untrusted data is concatenated directly into SQL command strings, allowing attackers to modify query logic and access unauthorized database records. In this case, the vulnerable endpoint is accessible only to authenticated administrators, limiting the attack surface to users with elevated privileges within the Online Thesis Archiving System.
RemediationAI
Developers should immediately implement parameterized queries (prepared statements) in PHP using mysqli::prepare() or PDO::prepare() to separate SQL structure from user-supplied data. All instances of dynamic query construction in manage_curriculum.php must be refactored to use bound parameters. Additionally, enforce strict input validation and employ a whitelist approach for curriculum identifiers and related parameters. Input should be validated for expected type and format before database operations. Organizations deploying this system should upgrade to a patched version once released by Sourcecodester, or apply a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to block SQL injection patterns in the /otas/admin/curriculum/ endpoint as a temporary compensating control. No vendor-released patch version has been independently confirmed at the time of this analysis.
