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 network reach to the download.php endpoint of the File Download component with an attacker-controlled 'ID' request parameter; per CVSS 4.0 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N this needs no authentication, no user interaction, and works against the default application as shipped. The practical limiting factors are not configuration-based but deployment-based: the product is an obscure, single-developer PHP project with negligible real-world installation, and no fixed release exists (rolling release, maintainer has not responded), so remediation currently depends on manual code patching or removing the component. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) indicates this is remotely reachable, low-complexity, and requires no authentication or user interaction, which normally argues for prioritization. However, the impact metrics are uniformly LOW (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L, SC:N/SI:N/SA:N), yielding a moderate base score of 6.9 - notably restrained for a SQL injection (CWE-89), where full database read/write and authentication bypass would typically justify HIGH confidentiality/integrity impact. This suggests VulDB assessed the injection as limited in reachable data or exploitable surface rather than a full database compromise. The vector carries E:P (Proof-of-Concept), consistent with the publicly disclosed exploit, but there is NO CISA KEV listing and NO EPSS score in the provided data, so there is no evidence of active, widespread, or automated exploitation. Net: this is a real, publicly-exploitable, unauthenticated flaw, but the combination of a tiny-footprint hobby product, low technical impact, and absence of KEV/EPSS signals places it well below genuinely urgent priorities. MISSING DATA: EPSS probability not provided; prioritize by asset exposure rather than raw score. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted value in the 'ID' parameter to download.php, injecting SQL into the query backing the readfile-based File Download component. A public proof-of-concept exists (referenced via the project's GitHub issue tracker), so weaponization requires minimal skill; low attack complexity (AC:L) means no special timing or preconditions are needed. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
SQL injection in oretnom23 file-management-system-php (download.php) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate the 'ID' parameter and execute arbitrary SQL statements against the backend database. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the project uses a rolling release with no fixed version; the maintainer has not responded to the issue report. Although the CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation without authentication or user interaction, real-world exposure is limited by the project's obscurity and negligible installation base, and remediation currently depends on manual code patching or removing the component.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified at time of analysis; the maintainer was informed via the issue report but has not responded, and the rolling release model provides no fixed version to upgrade to. The primary remediation is to manually patch download.php by replacing direct interpolation of the 'ID' parameter with parameterized prepared statements (PDO or mysqli), validating that 'ID' is an integer, and applying an allowlist for expected file identifiers; this requires code maintenance and regression testing because it is an unsupported manual change. If the File Download feature is not required, remove or disable download.php and its route, accepting the loss of that functionality. As compensating controls, restrict network access to download.php through a reverse proxy or WAF rule that blocks SQL injection patterns in the 'ID' parameter, understanding that WAF rules may produce false positives or miss encoded payloads, and monitor web server and database logs for anomalous queries.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a CWE-89 SQL injection in the readfile function of download.php in oretnom23's file-management-system-php, a PHP-based file management application. The File Download component takes an 'ID' argument and uses it in a database query without proper neutralization, allowing an attacker to alter SQL syntax. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:oretnom23:file-management-system-php:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates that all versions are potentially affected because the project follows a rolling release model and does not publish version details. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) confirms network reachability, low attack complexity, no authentication requirement, and no user interaction, with limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact; the E:P component reflects the publicly available proof-of-concept. The independent CVSS 3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) is consistent with this evaluation.
