Exploitation Conditions

Remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit SQL injection in SourceCodester Online Admission System 1.0 via the 'program' parameter in /programmes.php. No authentication, user interaction, or special configuration required.

Impact

This vulnerability presents a significant real-world risk based on multiple threat indicators. The CVSS v3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates network-accessible exploitation requiring low attack complexity with no authentication or user interaction, making it easily automatable. The Exploit Maturity score (E:P) confirms a public proof-of-concept is available at https://github.com/WHOAMI-xiaoyu/CVE/blob/main/CVE_7.md, significantly increasing the likelihood of exploitation. While the impact is rated as Low across Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability, SQL injection attacks can often be escalated beyond initial CVSS scoring through techniques like privilege escalation, secondary payload injection, or lateral movement. The combination of public exploit availability, zero authentication requirements, and network accessibility makes this a priority for organizations running the affected software, despite the moderate CVSS score. The Remediation Level (RL:X) indicates no official patch information is currently available, further elevating risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable /programmes.php endpoint with SQL injection payloads embedded in the 'program' parameter, such as manipulating the value to include commands like ' OR '1'='1' -- or UNION SELECT statements. Because a proof-of-concept exploit is publicly available on GitHub at https://github.com/WHOAMI-xiaoyu/CVE/blob/main/CVE_7.md, even low-skilled attackers can leverage existing code to extract sensitive admission records, student information, or administrative credentials from the database. The attack requires no authentication and can be automated to scan for and exploit vulnerable instances across the internet.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 24, 2026

SourceCodester Online Admission System 1.0 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the /programmes.php file's program parameter that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary database queries. Public exploit code is available for this vulnerability, and no patch is currently available. The flaw enables attackers to potentially read, modify, or delete sensitive admission system data.

Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
v1 Mar 24, 2026 - 03:30 CVSS 7.3

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in SourceCodester Online Admission System version 1.0, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to manipulate database queries through the 'program' parameter in the /programmes.php file. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.3 and can be exploited to access, modify, or delete database information. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub, significantly lowering the barrier for exploitation.

RemediationAI

As indicated by the CVSS Remediation Level (RL:X), no official patch or updated version appears to be available from the vendor at this time. Organizations should immediately implement compensatory controls including: deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with SQL injection detection rules specifically targeting the /programmes.php endpoint and the 'program' parameter; implementing input validation and sanitization at the application perimeter to filter malicious SQL metacharacters; restricting database user privileges to minimum necessary permissions to limit potential damage from successful exploitation; and conducting code review to implement parameterized queries or prepared statements in the affected file. Organizations should monitor vendor communications at https://www.sourcecodester.com/ for future security updates. Given the absence of an official patch and the availability of public exploits, consider migrating to alternative admission management systems with active security maintenance if the vendor does not respond promptly. Additional technical details for manual remediation can be referenced from the vulnerability submission at https://vuldb.com/?submit.775788.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 (SQL Injection) and affects the SourceCodester Online Admission System 1.0, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:online_admission_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The flaw occurs in the /programmes.php file where user-supplied input from the 'program' parameter is insufficiently sanitized before being incorporated into SQL queries. This PHP-based application fails to implement proper input validation or parameterized queries, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands that are executed by the backend database. SQL injection vulnerabilities remain among the most critical web application security risks as they can lead to complete database compromise.

DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw has been found in SourceCodester Online Admission System 1.0. This affects an unknown function of the file /programmes.php. Executing a manipulation of the argument program can lead to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

An unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the Online Admission System allows attackers to access, modify, or delete sensitive applicant and institutional data without credentials. With public exploits readily available and no vendor patch currently available, immediate action is required to prevent unauthorized data breach, system compromise, and potential regulatory violations affecting student records and admissions integrity.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection patterns in the 'program' parameter; implement IP whitelisting to restrict access to /programmes.php to authorized networks only; disable the programmes.php endpoint if functionality is not critical; apply strict input validation and parameterized SQL queries in code; enable database activity monitoring and audit logging; implement rate limiting on the affected endpoint; segment the database server network access to minimize lateral movement if compromise occurs.
