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 | Requires a network-reachable deployment of mathurvishal CloudClassroom-PHP-Project exposing updatequery.php; the attacker manipulates the gid request parameter to inject SQL. Per the VulDB CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) no authentication or user interaction is asserted, though this auth assumption is not independently confirmed and CloudClassroom pages may sit behind a login in some setups. Practical exploitation is limited chiefly by the product's near-zero deployment footprint and the absence of any fixed release (rolling releases, unresponsive vendor), not by technical complexity. |
| Impact | This is a classic VulDB-catalogued SQL injection (CWE-89) in an obscure student/hobby PHP application, and the real-world risk is LOW despite the network vector. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L, base 6.9) indicates remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with only PARTIAL confidentiality/integrity/availability impact - consistent with a single injectable parameter rather than full DB compromise. Signals partly align: SSVC reports Exploitation=poc, Automatable=yes, Technical Impact=partial, and a public exploit exists on GitHub, so weaponization into a spray/scan is technically easy. However, there is NO KEV listing and NO EPSS score provided, and no evidence of active exploitation - so this is 'publicly available exploit code exists,' not confirmed in-the-wild use. The dominant risk-limiter is deployment footprint: this is a tiny GitHub project with negligible production presence, so an automatable, low-privilege SQLi still translates to minimal aggregate exposure. Note the CVSS 4.0 partial-impact ratings (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) may UNDERSTATE a raw SQLi, which can often read/modify entire tables - verify actual query context against the source; conversely PR:N is asserted by VulDB and not independently confirmed against the application's auth model. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker sends a crafted request to updatequery.php with a malicious payload in the gid parameter, injecting SQL that the application concatenates into a query without sanitization. Because a public proof-of-concept advisory exists on GitHub and the flaw is automatable, an attacker can script extraction or tampering of database rows against any exposed instance. Impact per the CVSS vector is partial across confidentiality, integrity, and availability rather than full database takeover. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 25, 2026
SQL injection in mathurvishal's CloudClassroom-PHP-Project (updatequery.php) lets remote attackers manipulate the gid parameter to inject arbitrary SQL into the application's database queries, rated CVSS 4.0 AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N with low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Publicly available exploit code exists via a GitHub advisory (proof-of-concept maturity per the E:P vector), but there is no CISA KEV listing and no evidence of active exploitation; CISA's SSVC assessment is Exploitation: poc, Automatable: yes, Technical Impact: partial. The vendor was contacted early and did not respond, and the project uses rolling releases, so no fixed version can be identified; combined with the product's near-zero deployment footprint, real-world risk is LOW.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis: the maintainer was contacted and never responded, and the rolling-release model means there is no tagged fixed version to upgrade to, so remediation must rely on compensating controls. The most effective interim step is to remove or disable updatequery.php if the update-query function is not required, or to block external access to it at the reverse proxy/WAF layer (for example, deny requests whose path matches updatequery.php or whose gid parameter contains SQL metacharacters); the trade-off is that legitimate classroom update operations that depend on this endpoint will break. Where the endpoint must remain reachable, rewrite the gid handling to use parameterized queries/prepared statements (PDO or mysqli bind parameters) rather than string concatenation, since input filtering alone is an unreliable fix for CWE-89. Additionally, restrict CloudClassroom deployments to trusted internal networks or place them behind authentication, acknowledging that an auth gate only reduces exposure and does not eliminate the injection flaw, and treat WAF SQLi signatures as bypassable defense-in-depth rather than a guarantee. Because no patched release exists, consider retiring or replacing the application if it cannot be hardened, and monitor https://vuldb.com/vuln/409902 and the public advisory at https://github.com/vinniboy021-blip/Advisory/blob/main/updatequery-sqli.md for any future fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-89 SQL injection in a PHP web application: the updatequery.php script takes the gid request parameter and builds it into a SQL statement without parameterization or escaping, allowing an unauthenticated network attacker to alter query semantics. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:mathurvishal:cloudclassroom-php-project:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, confirming that no specific release boundary is published because the project ships continuous rolling updates; the reference commit 5dadec098bfbbf3300d60c3494db3fb95b66e7be is the state at which the flaw was reported. The 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) and the independent 3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) agree on a remote, unauthenticated attack with low-impact but broad read/write potential against the backend database; SSVC flags the issue as automatable with partial technical impact. VulDB is the cataloguing source (vuldb.com/vuln/409902), and the public advisory at github.com/vinniboy021-blip/Advisory/blob/main/updatequery-sqli.md documents the exploit path.

A security vulnerability has been detected in mathurvishal CloudClassroom-PHP-Project up to 5dadec098bfbbf3300d60c3494db3fb95b66e7be. This affects an unknown function of the file updatequery.php. The manipulation of the argument gid leads to sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. Continious delivery with rolling releases is used by this product. Therefore, no version details of affected nor updated releases are available. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
