Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The vulnerable addStudent function in view_students.php must be reachable - meaning the application must be deployed and the student creation feature enabled, which is core default functionality. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 is extremely low, reflecting the limited blast radius: the attack requires passive user interaction (UI:P), produces only low integrity impact on the vulnerable system (VI:L), and has no confidentiality or availability impact in either the vulnerable or subsequent system scope. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker sends an HTTP POST request to the addStudent endpoint, supplying a Name value containing a JavaScript payload such as an image onerror or script tag. The payload is stored in the application's backend. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; the project maintainer has not responded to the coordinated disclosure reported via GitHub issue (https://github.com/hemant6488/CodeIgniter-StudentManagementSystem/issues/6). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
