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 valid low-privilege authenticated session on the Student-Management-System web application, consistent with PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector. The attacker must be able to submit HTTP requests to the Management Mutation Handler endpoint with attacker-controlled values in at least one of the following parameters: roll_no, name, father_name, class, mobile, email, password, or remark. No special server-side configuration beyond a running instance of the application is required. The primary factor limiting exploitation is the low-privilege authentication prerequisite - unauthenticated exploitation is not supported by the CVSS vector. Impact is further bounded by the database account's privilege level; a least-privilege database user reduces the consequence of successful injection. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation with no user interaction required, but gated behind a low-privilege authentication requirement. Scored impact is low across confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), yielding the low overall score of 2.1. However, the CVSS 4.0 score likely understates practical risk: SQL injection impact is highly dependent on database account privileges, and in misconfigured deployments could escalate to full database exfiltration or write operations beyond the rated low impact. A publicly available POC (E:P) lowers the barrier for exploitation. No KEV listing means active exploitation is unconfirmed. EPSS data was not provided in the input. The project has not responded to responsible disclosure, making remediation indefinitely blocked - a meaningful operational risk signal absent from the numeric score. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a valid low-privilege account logs into the Student-Management-System and submits a crafted SQL payload (e.g., a UNION-based or boolean-blind injection string) into one of the vulnerable parameters such as roll_no or email within the Management Mutation Handler. A publicly available proof-of-concept at GitHub issue #5 demonstrates working injection payloads against the application. Depending on the database account's privileges, the attacker could exfiltrate student PII, modify academic records, or enumerate the database schema. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 23, 2026
SQL injection in sambitraj's Student-Management-System exposes multiple user-supplied parameters in the Management Mutation Handler to database query manipulation by authenticated remote attackers. The application uses a rolling release model with no versioned releases; all commits up to 56ba287f2e9031523ccb4244cb6e3fe530e4e5d5 are affected and no patch has been issued despite responsible disclosure via GitHub issue. Publicly available exploit code exists (E:P per CVSS 4.0 supplemental), though no active exploitation has been confirmed and the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 reflects limited rated impact under low-privilege conditions.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis; the project maintainer has not responded to disclosure and no fixed commit or release exists. Operators running this application should consider immediately restricting access to authenticated, trusted internal users only or taking the application offline if external exposure exists. As compensating controls: restrict the application's database account to the minimum required privileges (SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE only, no FILE, EXECUTE, or DROP rights) to limit SQL injection blast radius - trade-off is that this requires application re-testing. Deploy a web application firewall with SQL injection detection rules targeting the Management Mutation Handler endpoints - trade-off is potential false positives on legitimate student data containing SQL-like strings. For those maintaining a fork, replace vulnerable parameter handling with PDO prepared statements or MySQLi parameterized queries throughout the Management Mutation Handler. The disclosed POC is available at https://github.com/sambitraj/STUDENT-MANAGEMENT-SYSTEM/issues/5 and VulDB entry https://vuldb.com/vuln/394298 for reference during remediation testing.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected product is the sambitraj/STUDENT-MANAGEMENT-SYSTEM PHP web application, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:sambitraj:student-management-system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), a classic SQL injection class caused by concatenating unsanitized user input directly into SQL query strings without the use of parameterized queries or prepared statements. The vulnerable attack surface spans eight distinct parameters in the Management Mutation Handler: roll_no, name, father_name, class, mobile, email, password, and remark - indicating broad coverage of student record CRUD operations. The scope of database impact depends heavily on the privileges of the underlying database account used by the application.
