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 | Exploitation requires that the vulnerable Search Page (Officers/searchOff.php) of the Criminal-Management-System application be deployed and network-reachable, with the 'Search' input field exposed. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration are required - an attacker only needs HTTP access to the search endpoint. The primary limiting factors are not technical barriers but exposure: the application must be publicly accessible, and because the product is a niche open-source project the realistic attack surface is very small. Because the vendor uses a rolling release and has not responded, no patched version is available, so the only mitigations are removing/restricting the endpoint or applying parameterized-query fixes manually. |
| Impact | This is a classic unauthenticated remote SQL injection (CWE-89) in an obscure open-source PHP project, and the signals point to a moderate real-world priority rather than an urgent one. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation requiring no user interaction, which is the easy end of the exploitability spectrum; however VulDB assessed only Low impact across all three dimensions (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), yielding a 6.9 Medium score. The exploit-maturity metric E:P (Proof-of-Concept) and the input flag of a publicly available POC are consistent with one another, so publicly available exploit code exists but there is no indication of mass or automated exploitation. No EPSS score was provided in the input, and the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed active exploitation. The practical risk ceiling is set by the target population, not the flaw: this is a hobby/student-grade GitHub application with negligible production footprint, so despite trivial exploitability this should be triaged well below similar flaws in widely deployed software. One point to verify: VulDB rated confidentiality impact only Low, but an unauthenticated SQL injection in a search field commonly permits full database extraction, which would justify a higher confidentiality impact - see assessed vector below. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted value in the 'Search' parameter to Officers/searchOff.php, where it is concatenated into a mysqli_query call, injecting arbitrary SQL. Because no authentication or user interaction is required and attack complexity is low, the attacker can enumerate and extract database contents (e.g., officer or case records, credentials) directly over the network. A public proof-of-concept is referenced in the project's GitHub issue tracker, lowering the skill needed to reproduce the attack. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 19, 2026
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the Search Page of vraj404 Criminal-Management-System (Officers/searchOff.php) allows remote attackers to manipulate the Search parameter passed to mysqli_query, exposing sensitive records and permitting limited data modification. The application is a niche open-source PHP project on a rolling release with no published affected or fixed version, and the vendor has not responded to the issue report; publicly available exploit code exists, but there is no CISA KEV confirmation of active exploitation. With a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 and exposure-dependent preconditions, the practical risk is moderate and concentrated on Internet-reachable deployments.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis, so the primary remediation is to manually replace the unsafe mysqli_query call in Officers/searchOff.php with a prepared statement that binds the Search parameter, then redeploy the application. If code changes are not feasible, remove the search endpoint or block external access to Officers/searchOff.php at the reverse proxy/WAF, or place the entire application behind authentication; this closes the injection path but breaks the public search feature. Restricting the application to a trusted network or VPN is another compensating control that reduces exposure at the cost of public availability. Monitor web logs for SQL injection attempts against the Search parameter, and track the vendor issue at https://github.com/vraj404/Criminal-Management-System/issues/4 for any eventual fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a classic CWE-89 SQL injection in PHP code where user-supplied input reaches mysqli_query without neutralization of SQL metacharacters. In Officers/searchOff.php, the Search parameter is concatenated or interpolated into a SQL statement and executed through MySQLi, allowing an attacker to alter query logic rather than merely search records. The provided CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) confirms this is remotely reachable with no authentication or user interaction; the authenticated/unauthenticated distinction is based on the vector's PR:N value. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:vraj404:criminal-management-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* wildcards all versions, which matches the project's rolling-release model and the absence of a version-specific advisory. The CVSS 4.0 E:P value and the VulDB/exploit reference indicate public proof-of-concept code, but KEV is not present, so this should not be conflated with confirmed active exploitation.

A security vulnerability has been detected in vraj404 Criminal-Management-System up to 2808d057e7ddc5295519a487365b0cacfd0ba8c4. Affected by this issue is the function mysqli_query of the file Officers/searchOff.php of the component Search Page. Such manipulation of the argument Search leads to sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. This product utilizes a rolling release system for continuous delivery, and as such, version information for affected or updated releases is not disclosed. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
