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 targets the specific endpoint /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/examproper/questions-view.php via the 'ID' request parameter in SourceCodester Online Reviewer Management System 1.0. The CVSS 4.0 vector states PR:N/UI:N (no authentication or user interaction), but the '/admins/' segment of the path suggests the questions-view function is part of the administrative interface and may in practice require an authenticated admin session, which would significantly limit realistic exploitation. Limiting factors: the affected software is a niche, self-hosted PHP application with minimal deployment; only version 1.0 is named; and impact is limited (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), indicating the injection yields partial rather than full database access. |
| Impact | This is a classic SourceCodester PHP application SQL injection with modest real-world risk. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) indicates unauthenticated remote exploitation at low complexity, which raises theoretical urgency, but all three impact metrics are only Low (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), producing a 5.5 (Medium) score - consistent with a single injectable parameter rather than full database compromise. SSVC-relevant signals: exploit maturity is E:P (Proof-of-Concept), and a public exploit is confirmed (GitHub issue + VulDB entry), so 'publicly available exploit code exists.' No EPSS score and no CISA KEV listing were provided, and there is no evidence of active exploitation - the public POC is a distinct signal from in-the-wild use. The overall picture is a low-priority, low-footprint bug: real and remotely exploitable, but affecting an obscure academic/demo application, and the vendor (SourceCodester) is historically unresponsive to such reports. Note the PR:N claim rests on the description/vector alone; many SourceCodester admin-path files (this path contains '/admins/') are behind a login, so real-world exploitation may require authentication despite the PR:N metric - verify whether questions-view.php is reachable pre-auth. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/examproper/questions-view.php with a manipulated 'ID' parameter containing SQL syntax, causing the backend query to be altered. Because a public proof-of-concept is available (VulDB and a GitHub issue), an unskilled attacker can copy the payload to extract or tamper with limited database contents. The '/admins/' path suggests the endpoint may sit behind an admin login, which would constrain who can reach it. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
SQL injection in SourceCodester Online Reviewer Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to manipulate the 'ID' request parameter of /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/examproper/questions-view.php, altering backend database queries with partial confidentiality, integrity and availability impact (CVSS 5.5; vendor-disclosed, VulDB-tracked). Publicly available exploit code exists - a proof-of-concept is published at https://github.com/Aszadom/cve/issues/1 - but there is no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV). The CVSS 4.0 vector records PR:N/UI:N (no authentication or user interaction required), although the '/admins/' segment of the vulnerable path suggests the questions-view function is part of the administrative interface and may in practice require an authenticated admin session, which would materially limit realistic exploitation. No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at time of analysis, so remediation must be applied by the deploying operator. The most effective fix is to replace the string-concatenated query in /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/examproper/questions-view.php with a parameterized/prepared statement and to cast the 'ID' parameter to an integer before use; this eliminates the CWE-89 root cause without changing application behavior. If source modification is not feasible, compensating controls are: block or return 403 for requests to /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/examproper/questions-view.php that carry non-numeric ID values at the reverse proxy or WAF (trade-off: careful tuning is needed to avoid breaking legitimate numeric IDs, and a bypass of the filter rule restores exposure); restrict the entire /reviewer_0/admins/ path to trusted source IPs or to an authenticated session via web-server ACLs, since the admin-interface location implies administrative use only (trade-off: blocks legitimate remote administrators and will not help if the function is in fact reachable without a session, as the CVSS 4.0 PR:N/UI:N vector suggests); or remove/disable the questions-view endpoint entirely on instances that do not use it (trade-off: loss of the related assessment-review feature). Apply least-privilege credentials to the application's database account so an injection cannot escalate to schema or file-level access, and monitor web and database logs for anomalous SELECT/UNION patterns against this endpoint. Detection guidance and the coordinated disclosure record are available at https://vuldb.com/vuln/411581 and https://vuldb.com/vuln/411581/cti, the public exploit at https://github.com/Aszadom/cve/issues/1 should be consulted to build regression tests, and any vendor update should be tracked through https://www.sourcecodester.com/ since no fix version is currently confirmed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a self-hosted PHP web application, SourceCodester Online Reviewer Management System 1.0 (CPE cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:online_reviewer_management_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), which is distributed as downloadable source code from sourcecodester.com and is typically deployed on LAMP-style stacks with a MySQL-family backend. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), i.e. the ID argument handled by questions-view.php is concatenated into a SQL statement without parameterization or adequate type validation, letting an attacker reshape the query. Because the injection is reachable over the network (AV:N/AC:L), no special conditions are needed beyond HTTP access to the endpoint; note the discrepancy between the CVSS 4.0 vector's PR:N/UI:N and the administrative path prefix, so authentication requirements should be treated as not fully confirmed from available data. The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.5 carries an exploit-maturity value of E:P (proof-of-concept), indicating the score already accounts for published exploit code; the independent 3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) agrees that impact is bounded to partial rather than full database compromise.
