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 reaching the updatefaculty.php script and supplying a malicious fid parameter that is concatenated into a SQL query without sanitization. The endpoint name implies an administrative faculty-management function, so a deployed and reachable CloudClassroom-PHP-Project instance is required; whether prior authentication is needed is not confirmed by the description despite the vector's PR:N. Practical limits: the affected product is an obscure GitHub educational project with negligible production deployment, and no patched release exists (rolling-release, unresponsive vendor), so risk is bounded by the small install base rather than by attack difficulty. |
| Impact | The signals point to a real but low-priority vulnerability. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) with E:P and a base score of 5.5 describes a remotely reachable SQL injection, and a public exploit exists (VulDB, plus a GitHub advisory), so this is publicly available exploit code exists rather than mere theory. However, no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score are provided, meaning there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation - consistent with an obscure, low-footprint target. The impact metrics are deliberately conservative (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), which understates typical SQLi potential: a single injectable parameter in a database-backed admin page can often yield full read of the backing database (C:H), so the real confidentiality impact may be higher than the input's 'Low' rating. Note a likely tension in the vector: updatefaculty.php is almost certainly an administrative faculty-management endpoint, which would normally imply authentication (PR:L), yet VulDB scored it PR:N; the description does not confirm the auth state, so the true privilege prerequisite should be verified against the code. Overall: a genuine, exploit-available flaw, but in a rare hobby/educational project, making it low real-world priority despite a moderate CVSS. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker sends a crafted value in the fid parameter to updatefaculty.php, injecting SQL that the application concatenates directly into a query. This lets the attacker read or manipulate database contents (faculty, user, and credential records). A public proof-of-concept exploit and advisory are already published on GitHub and VulDB, lowering the skill barrier. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 25, 2026
SQL injection in the updatefaculty.php script of mathurvishal's CloudClassroom-PHP-Project allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL through the unsanitized fid parameter, potentially reading or altering faculty records stored in the underlying database. Publicly available exploit code exists, published as a GitHub advisory with a SQLi proof-of-concept, and the vendor was contacted but never responded, so no fixed version is available; the CPE record (cpe:2.3:a:mathurvishal:cloudclassroom-php-project:*) carries a wildcard version because the project uses a rolling-release model. Practical risk is bounded by the product's negligible production footprint as an obscure educational PHP project rather than by attack difficulty, making this a real but low-priority issue.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis: the maintainer was contacted early and did not respond, and the rolling-release model means there is no tagged fixed version to upgrade to, so remediation must be compensating. The most effective control is to remove updatefaculty.php from any internet-facing deployment if faculty management is not actively needed, or to restrict access to it at the web server or reverse proxy with authentication plus an IP allowlist; the trade-off is loss of that administrative workflow for legitimate staff or a dependency on static IPs. Second, if the script must remain reachable, sanitize the fid parameter in code by casting it to an integer and rewriting the query with prepared statements/parameter binding, since the parameter is expected to be a numeric faculty identifier; this requires the ability to fork and maintain the project yourself. Third, a WAF or mod_security rule blocking SQL metacharacters and UNION/boolean patterns on updatefaculty.php provides interim protection, but it is bypassable with encoding tricks and may generate false positives on legitimate administrative input, so it should be treated as a stopgap rather than a fix. Finally, because public exploit code exists, treat any exposed instance as potentially compromised: rotate database credentials used by the application, review database logs for anomalous queries against the faculty table, and apply database least-privilege so the web application account cannot read or write beyond what it needs. Monitor https://vuldb.com/vuln/409904 and the GitHub advisory for any future fix from the maintainer.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a classic CWE-89 improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command, rooted in PHP code that concatenates the user-supplied fid argument directly into a SQL statement inside updatefaculty.php without parameterization, escaping, or type casting. The endpoint name implies a faculty-management function, so exploitation presumes a deployed and reachable CloudClassroom-PHP-Project instance; the description does not confirm whether prior authentication is required, and the supplied metadata is internally inconsistent on this point. The vendor's CVSS v4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/E:P) treats the attack as unauthenticated with Proof-of-Concept exploit maturity, while our independent assessment's v3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L) assumes low privileges and weights confidentiality impact higher than integrity and availability. Either way, the identifier is sourced from VulDB with a public GitHub advisory as corroborating evidence, there is no published code fix, and the CPE string confirms the affected artifact is the project as a whole rather than a pinned release.
