| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation targets the ID argument of /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/databank/btn_functions.php when action=remove; a manipulated ID value is injected into the backend SQL query. Limiting factor: the endpoint resides under the application's /admins/ management area, which in typical SourceCodester deployments requires a valid administrator session, so realistic exploitation likely requires authenticated access despite the vendor's PR:N rating - this should be verified against the actual access control on that script. No user interaction is required, and the request is a simple remote HTTP GET, making it trivial to automate once the endpoint is reachable. |
| Impact | The primary quantitative signal is the vendor (VulDB) CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.5 (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) with an SSVC/temporal indicator of E:P (Proof-of-Concept exploit exists), and a published PoC is confirmed via a GitHub issue - so exploitation status is 'publicly available exploit code exists,' distinct from confirmed active exploitation. No EPSS score and no CISA KEV listing are present in the input, so there is no evidence of widespread or active exploitation; this reads as a routine, PoC-backed SQL injection rather than an urgent priority. Two signals conflict and should be treated cautiously: (1) the vendor rates PR:N (unauthenticated), yet the affected path (/reviewer_0/admins/assessments/databank/btn_functions.php) sits under an /admins/ management area, which typically requires an authenticated admin session - verify whether this endpoint is truly reachable pre-auth. (2) The vendor caps confidentiality at VC:L, but a classic ID-parameter SQLi generally allows full database extraction, arguing for higher confidentiality impact. The CWE is also generic (CWE-74 injection parent) where CWE-89 (SQL injection) is the precise classification. Net: moderate, opportunistic risk against a niche product, not a high-priority threat despite a public PoC. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker reaches the databank remove endpoint and supplies a crafted value in the ID parameter (e.g., /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/databank/btn_functions.php?action=remove&ID=<injection>), causing the unsanitized value to be concatenated into a SQL statement. Using UNION-based or blind techniques, the attacker extracts credentials and stored data or tampers with records. A public proof-of-concept exists (GitHub orzl1/cve issue #3), lowering the skill barrier; low attack complexity (AC:L) makes the request trivial to reproduce. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 20, 2026
SQL injection in SourceCodester Online Reviewer Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to manipulate the ID parameter of /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/databank/btn_functions.php?action=remove, potentially altering backend database queries. The endpoint resides under the administrative /admins/ path and likely requires an authenticated administrator session (independent assessment PR:L), despite the vendor's CVSS 4.0 vector listing PR:N; a public proof-of-concept exploit has been published and publicly available exploit code exists, though no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) is reported. The vendor CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.5 with an E:P temporal indicator.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the provided data; monitor SourceCodester and VulDB (https://vuldb.com/vuln/407933) for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the /reviewer_0/admins/ directory to trusted authenticated administrators only-if administrative access is not already enforced, implement it immediately (note that if the vendor PR:N rating is accurate, this control is insufficient). Consider IP allowlisting for the admin interface, but this may hinder remote administration. Modify btn_functions.php to use parameterized queries or prepared statements for the ID argument, which requires code changes but eliminates the injection. Deploy a web application firewall with SQL injection rules targeting the ID parameter, understanding that false positives may block legitimate requests. Apply least-privilege permissions to the database account used by the application. The published proof-of-concept is available at https://github.com/orzl1/cve/issues/3.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a SQL injection (CWE-74, injection) in a PHP-based web application, SourceCodester Online Reviewer Management System 1.0. The specific flaw occurs in /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/databank/btn_functions.php when the action parameter equals remove: user-supplied input via the ID argument is concatenated into an SQL query without proper neutralization, allowing an attacker to alter query logic. The endpoint is part of the application's administrative management area, and the request is a simple remote HTTP GET requiring no user interaction, making it trivial to automate once reachable. While the vendor's CVSS 4.0 vector rates PR:N (unauthenticated), an independent assessment assigns PR:L (authenticated) because typical SourceCodester deployments protect /admins/ paths with an administrator session; verification of the actual access control on this script is recommended.
