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 the attacker to reach the /updateguest.php endpoint over the network and hold a low-privilege authenticated session (CVSS PR:L), then supply a malicious value in the gname or editassid parameter. No user interaction is required (UI:N). The main limiting factors are: (1) an account/privilege is needed rather than fully anonymous access; (2) the product is a niche GitHub PHP project with very limited real-world deployment; and (3) because it is a rolling release with no vendor response, exposure depends on running an unpatched self-hosted instance reachable to would-be attackers. |
| Impact | This is a low-to-moderate priority issue despite a public exploit. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity SQL injection requiring low privileges (PR:L), with only Low impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability - yielding a modest 5.3 base score. The vendor's inclusion of E:P (Proof-of-Concept) in the vector is consistent with the reported public exploit on GitHub, but E:P/POC availability is NOT active exploitation. No EPSS score and no CISA KEV listing are provided, so there is no evidence of widespread or automated in-the-wild exploitation; the signal is 'exploit code exists' rather than 'being exploited.' The dominant risk-limiter is prevalence: this is an obscure open-source student/hobby PHP project (mathurvishal/CloudClassroom-PHP-Project) with negligible production footprint, so real-world exposure is minimal regardless of the technical flaw. Note also that the vendor uses a rolling release and did not respond to disclosure, so no patched version exists - meaning any affected deployment cannot be trivially remediated by upgrading. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated user with low privileges submits a crafted value in the gname or editassid parameter to /updateguest.php, which is concatenated into a backend SQL query, allowing the attacker to read or tamper with database contents. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available (GitHub advisory by JaconiasDev), lowering the skill barrier. Because attack complexity is low and the vector is network-based, exploitation is straightforward against any exposed instance where the attacker holds a low-privilege account. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 26, 2026
SQL injection in mathurvishal CloudClassroom-PHP-Project lets a low-privilege authenticated remote attacker manipulate the gname or editassid parameters of /updateguest.php to execute arbitrary SQL against the application's backend database, with low confidentiality, integrity and availability impact. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3 with an E:P (proof-of-concept exploit) temporal qualifier, but there is no evidence of confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV). The practical risk is constrained by the project's niche, self-hosted footprint, the requirement for an authenticated session, and the absence of any vendor fix - the project ships as a rolling release and the maintainer did not respond to the disclosure.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis: the project is a rolling release, the maintainer did not respond to disclosure, and no fixed version or upstream commit/PR is cited in the available references, so remediation must be applied by the operator. The primary corrective action is to fix the code directly - replace the string-concatenated query in /updateguest.php with parameterized/prepared statements (PDO or mysqli bind parameters) for the gname and editassid inputs, and add server-side authorization checks so only appropriately privileged users can modify guest records. Until that is done, compensating controls include blocking or removing access to /updateguest.php from untrusted networks (in Apache/nginx via a location or rewrite deny rule, or by deleting/renaming the script) - the trade-off is that legitimate guest-update functionality stops working; restricting the application behind an authenticated reverse proxy or VPN so that only trusted staff can reach it, which reduces exposure but does not eliminate the injection for insiders; and deploying a WAF rule that rejects SQL metacharacters in the gname and editassid parameters, which may cause false positives on legitimate names containing apostrophes and is bypassable with encoding tricks. Because the exploit is public, prioritize inventorying any internet-reachable CloudClassroom-PHP-Project instances and reviewing database logs for anomalous queries against the guest table; note that these measures are mitigations, not a substitute for the code-level fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected code is a PHP web application (CloudClassroom-PHP-Project) that manages classroom guest records; the vulnerable element is an unnamed function in the script /updateguest.php, which builds a SQL statement from the gname and editassid request parameters without adequate neutralization. This maps to CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command, i.e. SQL Injection), meaning user-controlled input is concatenated into a query instead of being passed through parameterized statements or escaped, so an attacker can alter query semantics. The technology stack is PHP with a backend SQL database, and the CPE cpe:2.3:a:mathurvishal:cloudclassroom-php-project:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the whole product is treated as affected because it is distributed as a rolling release (repository HEAD up to and including commit 5dadec098bfbbf3300d60c3494db3fb95b66e7be) with no tagged affected or fixed version. The CVSS 4.0 vector confirms network attack vector, low complexity, no attack requirements and no user interaction, but privileges required are Low (PR:L), so exploitation presumes an authenticated session rather than fully anonymous access; impact is limited to the vulnerable system's confidentiality, integrity and availability (all Low), with no subsequent-system impact.

3DescriptionCVE.org
A security flaw has been discovered in mathurvishal CloudClassroom-PHP-Project up to 5dadec098bfbbf3300d60c3494db3fb95b66e7be. The impacted element is an unknown function of the file /updateguest.php. Performing a manipulation of the argument gname/editassid results in sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. This product is using a rolling release to provide continious delivery. Therefore, no version details for affected nor updated releases are available. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
