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 | No special conditions beyond network reachability of the application's admin login page - exploitation targets the default authentication flow (the Login function in admin_class.php) via the username/password parameters, requiring no prior authentication or user interaction (PR:N/UI:N). The practical limiting factors are: the attacker must be able to reach the admin login interface over the network, and because this is a rolling-release project with no versioning, defenders cannot pin an affected-vs-fixed boundary - the product is only deployed up to commit 2e3c1ebe60f121e8df4fb3f544f0e9591d9a01e4 as referenced, and no patched build exists. |
| Impact | This is a pre-authentication SQL injection (CWE-89) in the Login function of admin_class.php, reachable remotely with no privileges or user interaction (CVSS 4.0 AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N). On attack-surface grounds it is a genuinely dangerous class of flaw - an unauthenticated login-form SQLi commonly enables authentication bypass and database extraction. However, the real-world priority is tempered by several signals that pull in the opposite direction: the CVSS 4.0 base score is only 6.9 (Medium) because the vendor-supplied impact metrics are all Low (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), the exploit maturity is only 'E:P' (Proof-of-Concept, not actively weaponized), the issue is NOT on the CISA KEV list, and no EPSS score was supplied in the input. The sole exploit reference is a GitHub issue report, and the project 'has not responded yet,' meaning there is no patch. Signals are therefore consistent rather than conflicting: a real but low-impact-rated, POC-stage vulnerability in a niche product. Note one caveat to verify: SQL injection in a login handler often warrants higher confidentiality impact than the Low rating assigned here, so the vendor's VC:L may understate data-exposure risk - treat the Low impacts as a lower bound. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker submits a crafted username or password value to the admin login endpoint, injecting SQL that is concatenated into the authentication query in admin_class.php. This can allow authentication bypass or extraction of credential and file-metadata records from the backing database. Publicly available proof-of-concept detail exists in the project's GitHub issue tracker, lowering the barrier to reproduction. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
SQL injection in the Login function of oretnom23's file-management-system-php allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to manipulate the username and password parameters and alter the SQL used during the admin authentication flow. The assessment rates confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact as low, and affected deployments are identified only up to commit 2e3c1ebe60f121e8df4fb3f544f0e9591d9a01e4 because the project uses rolling releases. Public exploit code exists, but no CISA KEV entry or confirmed active exploitation was provided.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis; the maintainer was notified through https://github.com/oretnom23/file-management-system-php/issues/2 and has not responded. Until a fixed build is available, restrict the admin login interface to trusted networks or VPN access, which reduces exposure but blocks legitimate remote administration from untrusted networks. Deploy WAF rules targeting SQL injection on the username and password parameters as virtual patching, accepting that such rules require tuning and can be bypassed. If local code changes are permitted, replace the dynamic SQL in admin_class.php Login with parameterized queries or prepared statements and redeploy, understanding that this is an unsupported local patch that must be reapplied after every update. Monitor web and database logs for SQL injection attempts against the login endpoint. Refer to https://vuldb.com/vuln/424686 for advisory updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is CWE-89 SQL injection in a PHP web application. The vulnerable code path is the Login function in admin_class.php, where the username and password inputs are used in SQL during authentication. Because this is an authentication-tier endpoint, the main precondition is network reachability to the admin login page; the CVSS vector indicates PR:N/UI:N, so no prior authentication or user interaction is required. The CPE entry uses a wildcard for versions, reflecting the project's rolling-release model, and no vendor-fixed build boundary is available. The root cause class is improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands, which can allow manipulation of query structure with limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact as assessed.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was identified in oretnom23 file-management-system-php up to 2e3c1ebe60f121e8df4fb3f544f0e9591d9a01e4. This affects the function Login of the file admin_class.php. The manipulation of the argument username/password leads to sql injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. This product follows a rolling release approach for continuous delivery, so version details for affected or updated releases are not provided. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
