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 a low-privileged authenticated session on the Student Management System, consistent with the PR:L metric in the CVSS 4.0 vector - fully unauthenticated external attackers cannot exploit this directly. The vulnerable parameters (roll_no and teacher_name) must be accessible via the Dashboard component, meaning the attacker's account must have permission to reach that interface. No non-default configuration or special platform condition is described. Exploitation is further limited by the fact that this is a niche hobby project: only operators who have self-hosted this specific GitHub repository are exposed. The database user's privilege level determines the ultimate blast radius of a successful injection. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) is reasonable: network-accessible with low attack complexity, but requiring authenticated access (PR:L), which moderates real-world exploitability. The E:P supplemental metric confirms a public exploit exists, elevating practical risk above the base score alone would suggest. However, there is no CISA KEV listing, and EPSS data was not provided. The most significant limiting factor is product obscurity - this is a personal hobby GitHub project with negligible enterprise or institutional deployment, meaning the aggregate exposure is low. No conflicting signals are present between the CVSS vector and the description. The authentication requirement (PR:L) is the primary friction point: exploitation is blocked for entirely unauthenticated external attackers. No SSVC data was supplied. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a low-privileged account on the Student Management System navigates to the Dashboard interface and submits a crafted value such as roll_no=1' OR '1'='1 or teacher_name=admin'-- in the relevant input field. The unsanitized input is interpolated directly into the backend SQL query, allowing the attacker to enumerate student records, extract credentials, or modify data. A public proof-of-concept exists in GitHub issue #4, lowering the skill threshold required for exploitation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 23, 2026
SQL injection in the Dashboard component of sambitraj's Student-Management-System exposes the application to remote database manipulation via the roll_no and teacher_name parameters, affecting all commits through 56ba287f2e9031523ccb4244cb6e3fe530e4e5d5. A low-privileged authenticated attacker can inject arbitrary SQL to read or modify student records without any patch or vendor response currently available. A public exploit exists via GitHub issue disclosure, though real-world impact is constrained by the project's extremely narrow deployment footprint.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - the maintainer has not responded to the disclosure filed at https://github.com/sambitraj/STUDENT-MANAGEMENT-SYSTEM/issues/4. Operators running this software should immediately refactor the affected Dashboard query logic to use parameterized queries or prepared statements, which eliminates the injection surface entirely. As a compensating control, restrict Dashboard access to trusted internal networks or authenticated sessions with IP allowlisting to reduce the attack surface while a fix is developed. Deploying a web application firewall rule targeting SQL metacharacters in the roll_no and teacher_name parameters can reduce exploitation success but is bypassable and should not be treated as a permanent fix. Auditing existing database logs for anomalous query patterns is advisable given public exploit availability.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in SQL Commands) describes the root cause: the Dashboard component passes user-supplied values for roll_no and teacher_name directly into SQL queries without parameterization, escaping, or input validation. The affected product (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:sambitraj:student-management-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a PHP-based student management application hosted on GitHub under a rolling release model, meaning no discrete versioned releases exist. The SQL injection class is well-understood and trivially exploitable once the attacker has dashboard access, particularly absent any ORM or prepared statement layer.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was detected in sambitraj Student-Management-System up to 56ba287f2e9031523ccb4244cb6e3fe530e4e5d5. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component Dashboard. The manipulation of the argument roll_no/teacher_name results in sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. This product implements a rolling release for ongoing delivery, which means version information for affected or updated releases is unavailable. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
