Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N vector indicates a remotely exploitable vulnerability requiring no user interaction or authentication (PR:N), with low attack complexity. The E:P tag confirms publicly available proof-of-concept code exists, substantially increasing real-world exploitation probability. SSVC analysis: exploitation status is confirmed public (not active KEV but PoC available), the attack is automatable (SQL injection with simple string concatenation), and technical impact is limited to low confidentiality and integrity breach (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L with no scope expansion). While the CVSS score is in the medium-high range, the low technical impact suggests data exfiltration or modification of non-critical records rather than system takeover. Real-world priority depends on data sensitivity and whether Faculty Management System handles sensitive student/faculty personally identifiable information; if so, this is a practical business risk despite the moderate CVSS rating.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker navigates to the Faculty Management System and crafts a malicious URL with SQL injection payload in the ID parameter, such as /subject-print.php?ID=1' UNION SELECT user(), database(), version()--. The application concatenates this input directly into a SQL query without escaping, causing the injected UNION clause to execute. The attacker exfiltrates database metadata, credentials, or sensitive student/faculty records visible in the query results. Using publicly available PoC code from GitHub (https://github.com/wfcht-sy/src/issues/1), this attack takes minutes to weaponize and requires only network access and a web browser.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 13, 2026

SQL injection in code-projects Faculty Management System 1.0 via the ID parameter in /subject-print.php allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries and exfiltrate or modify database contents with low confidentiality and integrity impact. Publicly available exploit code exists, creating immediate operational risk for organizations running this system.

RemediationAI

Immediate action required: upgrade to a patched version of code-projects Faculty Management System (specific patched version not confirmed from available data; check code-projects.org advisory at https://code-projects.org/ for the latest release). The primary fix is input validation and parameterized queries: replace all dynamic SQL construction in /subject-print.php with prepared statements using bound parameters. Until a vendor patch is released, implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to block requests containing SQL metacharacters (single quotes, double dashes, UNION, SELECT, etc.) in the ID parameter. Additionally, apply principle of least privilege to the database account used by the application to restrict what queries can modify or extract.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability stems from CWE-89 (SQL Injection), a classic input validation failure where user-supplied data (the ID parameter) is concatenated into SQL queries without proper parameterization or escaping. The affected product is code-projects Faculty Management System (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:code-projects:faculty_management_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), a PHP-based web application. The /subject-print.php endpoint directly processes the ID parameter and passes it to database operations, allowing attackers to inject SQL metacharacters and alter query logic. This is a fundamental web application flaw that bypasses SQL parsing boundaries when dynamic query construction is used instead of prepared statements.
