Sourcecodester CASAP Automated Enrollment System 1.0 is vulnerable to SQL Injection in /save_user.php via the parameter status.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in Sourcecodester CASAP Automated Enrollment System 1.0 lets remote attackers manipulate backend database queries through the unsanitized 'status' parameter of /save_user.php, enabling data theft, tampering, or authentication bypass. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.3 and a documented technical writeup exists in the TaintRadar research repository, though it is not listed in CISA KEV and its EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.14%, 4th percentile). No vendor patch has been identified for this end-of-life hobbyist PHP application.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is CASAP Automated Enrollment System 1.0, a small PHP/MySQL web application distributed by Sourcecodester and typically used for demonstration or small-scale school enrollment projects. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): the 'status' parameter received by /save_user.php is concatenated directly into a SQL statement without parameterization or input validation, allowing attacker-controlled input to alter query logic. Because these Sourcecodester applications generally use raw mysqli/mysql_query string building rather than prepared statements, the injection point in the user-save routine can be used to read from or write to arbitrary tables reachable by the application's database user. CPE data is uninformative here (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a:*), so the affected product is confirmed only from the MITRE description text.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, as CASAP Automated Enrollment System is an unmaintained Sourcecodester demo project. The definitive fix is to rewrite /save_user.php to use parameterized queries/prepared statements (mysqli or PDO with bound parameters) for the 'status' value and all other user-supplied inputs; if you cannot modify source, apply strict server-side allowlist validation on 'status' (it should accept only a fixed enumerated set such as active/inactive numeric codes). As compensating controls, place the application behind a WAF with SQL-injection rules covering the status parameter (trade-off: rule bypasses are common and this is not a substitute for input handling), restrict access to /save_user.php to authenticated administrators via server-level auth or IP allowlisting (trade-off: only helps if the endpoint is not meant to be public), and run the database account with least privilege so injection cannot reach other schemas. Given the software's status, migrating off this application is the most durable option. Consult the technical writeup (TaintRadar GitHub link above) and the NVD entry for details.
