Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions are required beyond the target being reachable over the network - the SQL backup file is served from the default installation path /loginsystem/database/login_registration_system.sql with no authentication, no special HTTP headers, and no configuration flag needed to trigger the exposure. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms remote, unauthenticated exploitation with no attack prerequisites. What limits exploitation in practice: the product must be internet-exposed rather than localhost-only, the default installation directory structure must be preserved (renaming or relocating the file closes the vector), and the web server must serve the .sql file type without blocking it. The affected software is an educational/demo project, so production deployments are rare.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N) scores 6.9, reflecting a low-complexity, fully unauthenticated network attack with limited confidentiality impact. The impact is rated VC:L rather than VC:H, which may understate the actual consequence: the exposed SQL dump likely contains user credentials (potentially including plaintext or weakly hashed passwords) and the full schema, which can enable credential stuffing or targeted follow-on attacks. A public proof-of-concept is confirmed via the GitHub advisory reference; however, no CISA KEV listing exists, and EPSS data was not provided. Real-world risk is bounded by the extremely limited deployment footprint - code-projects Login Registration System is an educational/tutorial product, not enterprise software. Defenders can treat this as low-urgency unless they can confirm the product is exposed on a public-facing host. The CVSS vector is internally consistent with the described behavior - no conflicts to flag.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker scans internet-exposed PHP applications and identifies a host running Login Registration System 1.0 by fingerprinting the /loginsystem/ path structure. They issue a direct HTTP GET request to https://[target]/loginsystem/database/login_registration_system.sql and receive the full database dump in response. The dump contains user table records with credentials, which the attacker parses offline for credential reuse or targeted account compromise. A public proof-of-concept advisory documents this exact request sequence.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 20, 2026

Direct HTTP access to an exposed SQL database backup file in code-projects Login Registration System 1.0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to download the raw database dump at /loginsystem/database/login_registration_system.sql, disclosing user credentials, schema details, and any sensitive data stored in the application database. This is a CWE-552 file exposure defect - the backup artifact is stored within the web-accessible document root with no access controls. No exploitation beyond a standard HTTP GET request is required. A public proof-of-concept exploit exists; no KEV listing at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patched version has been identified at time of analysis - the fix must be applied manually by operators. The primary remediation is to move the SQL backup file outside the web server document root entirely, ensuring it is not reachable via HTTP under any path. As an immediate compensating control, add an .htaccess rule (for Apache) or equivalent Nginx location block to deny direct HTTP access to the /loginsystem/database/ directory - e.g., 'deny all' within that location context. Additionally, ensure the SQL dump does not contain plaintext credentials; if it does, rotate all passwords stored in the affected database immediately, as the file may already have been accessed. Restricting the application to authenticated network segments (VPN, IP allowlist) eliminates the remote attack vector entirely and is advisable for any deployment of this educational software. No formal vendor advisory URL is available; the public security advisory is at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anubhavv106/Security-Advisories/refs/heads/main/Login-Registration-System-login_registration_system.sql-Sensitive-Database-Disclosure.md.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-552 (Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties) describes the class of flaw where sensitive files are placed inside the web server's document root and served without authentication. In this case, the application ships a SQL dump file (login_registration_system.sql) under the path /loginsystem/database/, which is within the publicly reachable web root. PHP-based student or demo registration systems from code-projects.org commonly use this layout, storing raw .sql files for easy database restoration during development - a pattern that is dangerous in any internet-facing deployment. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:code-projects:login_registration_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected product is the Login Registration System by code-projects, version 1.0 specifically (per EUVD-2026-63191). The tags 'Path Traversal' and 'Information Disclosure' from the intelligence sources are consistent: no traversal is actually needed here - the file is directly routable at its canonical path - but the Information Disclosure classification is accurate.

Attack Technique

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
