MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated session to the itsourcecode Leave Management System 1.0 web application (CVSS PR:L), from which the attacker reaches /module/department/controller.php and manipulates the DEPTID argument. No user interaction and no special non-default configuration is needed beyond the department module being accessible; exploitation is limited primarily by the need for valid application credentials and by the product's tiny real-world deployment. A public POC removes the technical barrier to weaponization. |
| Impact | This is a classic high-volume, low-real-priority SQL injection disclosure. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) with a modest 5.3 score reflects network reachability and low complexity but requires authentication (PR:L) and rates each impact as Low (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) - VulDB tends to score these itsourcecode disclosures conservatively. The E:P (Proof-of-Concept) exploit maturity is corroborated by a publicly available exploit (GitHub issue), so 'publicly available exploit code exists' - but this is distinct from active exploitation: there is NO CISA KEV listing and NO EPSS score provided. Realistically the technical impact of a reachable SQLi is understated: single-parameter injection typically enables full database extraction (credential hashes), so confidentiality impact is arguably High rather than Low. The dominant risk-limiting factor is not the vuln class but the target: itsourcecode Leave Management System is a hobbyist/tutorial PHP application with negligible production deployment. Missing signals: no EPSS probability, no independent CVSS from NVD, no vendor advisory or patch - all reporting traces to a single source (VulDB) plus one POC. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privileged user (or an attacker who has obtained any valid application account) sends a crafted request to /module/department/controller.php with a malicious DEPTID value, injecting SQL into the department query. A public proof-of-concept exists on GitHub, lowering the skill barrier; the attacker uses UNION/boolean/time-based techniques to enumerate and dump database contents, including user credential hashes. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 20, 2026
SQL injection in itsourcecode Leave Management System 1.0 allows an authenticated user to manipulate the DEPTID argument of /module/department/controller.php and inject arbitrary SQL into the application's backend queries. Per the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N), the primary impact is high confidentiality loss with limited integrity effect, and exploitation requires a valid application session (PR:L) - no user interaction or non-default configuration is needed beyond the department module being reachable. Publicly available exploit code exists (a public proof-of-concept is referenced at github.com/VivianQYW/cve/issues/2 and the VulDB entry 407922), so the technical barrier to weaponization is low, though real-world risk is tempered by the product's very small deployment footprint; there is no indication of confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV).
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and the CPE data carries a wildcard version field, so there is no confirmed fixed release to upgrade to; administrators should check https://itsourcecode.com/ and the VulDB advisory at https://vuldb.com/vuln/407922 for a vendor update before assuming one exists. Where the codebase can be modified, the durable fix is to convert the DEPTID handling in /module/department/controller.php to parameterized statements or prepared queries and to cast the identifier to an integer allow-list, which eliminates the injection rather than filtering it. If the application cannot be patched or the department module is not operationally required, disable or remove that module entirely - this removes the attack surface but also removes department-management functionality for legitimate users. Restrict access to /module/department/controller.php to trusted administrative roles and network ranges (for example, an internal allow-list or VPN-only reachability), accepting that this degrades usability for remote staff while shrinking the authenticated attack population. Deploy a WAF rule blocking SQL metacharacters and known injection signatures on requests to /module/department/* as an interim control, understanding that signature evasion is possible and this is not a substitute for fixing the query. Finally, run the application's database account with least privilege (no DDL, no cross-schema reads) and enable query logging so that tampering attempts against DEPTID are detectable; both measures limit damage but do not prevent successful injection.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a PHP web application - itsourcecode's Leave Management System 1.0, a small open-source HR/leave portal - and the vulnerable endpoint is the department module controller at /module/department/controller.php. The flaw is CWE-89 (SQL Injection): the DEPTID request argument is passed into a database query without adequate sanitization or parameterization, so attacker-supplied input is interpreted as SQL syntax rather than as a data value. This is the classic pattern in this class of PHP codebase, where a controller reads a request parameter and concatenates it directly into a query string in the absence of prepared statements or strict type/identifier validation. The CPE record cpe:2.3:a:itsourcecode:leave_management_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, meaning no fixed version is expressed in the affected-product data; the description pins the observed version at 1.0. The submitted CVSS 4.0 vector (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P, score 5.3) and the assessor's CVSS 3.1 vector agree on the essentials - network reachability, low attack complexity, authenticated access, and no user interaction - but the assessor weights confidentiality impact higher (C:H) than the submitter's low confidentiality rating, and the E:P metric on the 4.0 vector reflects the existence of public exploit code rather than confirmed exploitation.
