DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in itsourcecode University Management System 1.0. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /admin_search_student.php. This manipulation of the argument admin_search_student causes sql injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity vulnerability in the University Management System's student search function could allow unauthorized access to sensitive student data and administrative functions. With public exploits already available and no patch released, immediate action is required to protect student records and institutional liability.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block suspicious requests to /admin_search_student.php; implement network segmentation to restrict admin panel access to authorized administrative networks only; disable the student search feature if operationally feasible; enforce multi-factor authentication on all admin accounts; implement rate limiting and request validation; increase monitoring and alerting on admin panel access; consider disabling the vulnerable application until patch availability or replacement is complete.
