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 sending a request to the specific endpoint /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/examproper/exam-delete.php with a manipulated test_id parameter in SourceCodester Online Reviewer Management System 1.0. The primary limiting factor is that this endpoint sits under the /admins/ administrative directory, strongly implying a valid authenticated admin session is needed in practice, which contradicts the CVSS PR:N rating and should be confirmed. Exploitation is otherwise network-based and requires no user interaction; it is constrained to the single named product and version, which has a small real-world deployment footprint. |
| Impact | This is a CWE-89 SQL injection in the test_id parameter of exam-delete.php within SourceCodester Online Reviewer Management System 1.0, rated CVSS 4.0 6.9 (medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L and exploit maturity E:P (proof-of-concept). Publicly available exploit code exists (referenced GitHub issue at Aszadom/cve), which raises practical risk, but there is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score supplied, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation - the E:P signal indicates only that PoC code is circulating, not weaponized mass exploitation. A key conflict exists between the CVSS vector and the description: the vulnerable file resides under /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/examproper/, an administrative path that in practice implies an authenticated admin session, yet the vector claims PR:N (unauthenticated); VulDB routinely scores such SourceCodester admin-area flaws as PR:N, so the true privilege requirement should be verified. The low impact metrics (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L) are conservative - SQL injection commonly permits full database read and often write, so real impact could exceed the assigned Low ratings. Overall this is a medium-priority issue: a real, publicly-documented SQLi against a niche product, not a high-urgency internet-scale threat. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/examproper/exam-delete.php with a malicious test_id value containing SQL syntax, causing the backend query to be manipulated and enabling database extraction or tampering. Public proof-of-concept exploit code is already released (referenced GitHub issue), lowering the skill barrier. Because the endpoint lives in the admin area, exploitation most realistically requires an authenticated administrator session despite the CVSS PR:N rating. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
SQL injection in the test_id parameter of exam-delete.php in SourceCodester Online Reviewer Management System 1.0 allows remote attackers to manipulate database queries, resulting in low-impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss (CVSS 4.0 6.9, medium). Publicly available exploit code exists and the attack is network-reachable with no user interaction; the published CVSS 4.0 vector rates it PR:N (unauthenticated), although our independent assessment notes the vulnerable script sits under the /admins/ administrative directory, implying a valid admin session is required in practice and that authentication requirements should be confirmed before the PR:N rating is trusted. The product is a small-footprint PHP application by SourceCodester, so real-world exposure is limited, and no CISA KEV listing indicates confirmed active exploitation.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis - SourceCodester has not published a fixed version for Online Reviewer Management System 1.0 via its site (https://www.sourcecodester.com/), and the VulDB entry (https://vuldb.com/vuln/411583) carries no patch reference, so operators cannot rely on an upstream upgrade at this time. The most direct code-level fix is to replace string-concatenated SQL in exam-delete.php with parameterized statements or prepared statements bound to a strictly validated integer test_id (for example, casting to int and rejecting non-numeric input before query execution); this eliminates the injection class entirely with negligible functional side effects, though it requires editing third-party PHP source and re-applying the change on any redeploy. As an interim compensating control, restrict access to the /reviewer_0/admins/ directory at the web server or reverse-proxy layer so only trusted administrative networks or an allowlisted set of source IPs can reach it, which reduces exposure but blocks legitimate remote administrators; enforce strong session authentication and least-privilege database accounts for the application so a successful injection cannot reach unrelated schemas or perform privileged DDL. Alternatively, temporarily disable or remove the exam-delete.php functionality if exam deletion is not operationally required - this fully removes the attack surface but disables a legitimate administrative feature. Because publicly available exploit code exists, deploy WAF rules that inspect test_id for SQL metacharacters and monitor web logs for anomalous requests to exam-delete.php as a detective control, recognizing that signature-based filtering is bypassable and should not be the sole mitigation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a PHP web application - SourceCodester Online Reviewer Management System - identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:sourcecodester:online_reviewer_management_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, with a wildcard version field indicating that no fixed version has been mapped. The root cause class is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command), specifically the failure to sanitize or parameterize the test_id argument before it is incorporated into a database query executed by /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/examproper/exam-delete.php. Because the tainted value is used in what is nominally a delete operation, tampering can affect data retrieval as well as record deletion depending on how the query is composed. The vulnerability requires only network access to the endpoint plus a request with a crafted test_id value; the endpoint's location beneath the /admins/ path suggests the application's own authorization layer normally gates it, which is why our independent assessment downgrades the privilege requirement to PR:L (authenticated) relative to the vendor-reported PR:N. MITRE has not published a detailed CVE description beyond the parameter and script referenced here.
