Network-reachable, low-complexity SQLi with full DB read/write/delete impact; PR:L rather than PR:N because the sink is an /admin endpoint that should require authentication.

SourceCodester Modern Loan Management System 1.0 is vulnerable to SQL Injection in /admin/delete_group.php?id=1.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in SourceCodester Modern Loan Management System 1.0 lets attackers manipulate the database via the unsanitized 'id' parameter of /admin/delete_group.php. The flaw carries a CVSS 9.8 and CISA SSVC rates technical impact as total and automatable, but EPSS is only 0.16% (5th percentile) and status is publicly available exploit code exists (POC), not active exploitation. A TaintRadar proof-of-concept is published, making trivial exploitation likely against any exposed instance.
Technical ContextAI
The application is a PHP/MySQL web application distributed by SourceCodester as a small business/tutorial-grade loan management product. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): the 'id' GET parameter passed to /admin/delete_group.php is concatenated directly into a SQL query - most likely a DELETE (and possibly SELECT) statement operating on loan/borrower group records - without parameterization or input validation. Because the sink is a delete-oriented endpoint, both in-band (UNION/error-based) and blind boolean/time-based extraction are plausible, and stacked queries may be possible depending on the MySQL driver configuration. No CPE strings were supplied; affected-version data in the EUVD is listed only as 'n/a'.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - SourceCodester's tutorial-grade releases rarely receive security fixes. As the primary control, remediate the code directly by converting the delete_group.php query to a parameterized/prepared statement (PDO or mysqli bound parameters) and casting 'id' to an integer before use. As compensating controls until fixed: restrict access to the /admin/ directory to trusted source IPs or place it behind an authenticated reverse proxy (trade-off: breaks legitimate remote admin access); deploy a WAF rule to block SQL metacharacters on the id parameter of /admin/delete_group.php (trade-off: signature-based rules can be bypassed and may cause false positives); and enforce least-privilege on the MySQL account so it cannot use stacked queries, DROP, or FILE operations (trade-off: none significant, recommended regardless).
