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 an authenticated session (PR:L) on an OS4ED openSIS-Classic instance at version 9.3 or earlier and the ability to reach the Student List Search endpoint that invokes functions/GetStuListFnc.php. The specific injection point is the LO_sort argument, which is passed unsanitized into the DBQuery function. Exploitation is remote and needs no user interaction, and a public PoC lowers the skill barrier; the primary limiting factors are the valid low-privileged account and the product's small deployment base. No non-default configuration is required.

Impact

This is an authenticated (CVSS PR:L) SQL injection in a niche open-source PHP student information system, so real-world priority is modest despite SQLi's usually high ceiling. The vendor/VulDB CVSS 4.0 base score is only 2.1 with VC:L/VI:L/VA:L, which materially UNDERSTATES a classic SQL injection - a working SQLi in the LO_sort argument typically permits reading arbitrary database contents (student PII, credentials), so confidentiality impact is better modeled as High, not Low; I therefore disagree with the vendor's low impact rating (flagged in confidence_notes, not as a data-quality flag). A public exploit exists (GitHub issue #476, E:P/'Proof-of-Concept' in the 4.0 vector), which raises practical exploitability, but there is no EPSS score and no CISA KEV listing provided, so this is publicly available exploit code - NOT confirmed active exploitation. The attack is network-reachable and low-complexity but requires a valid low-privileged account (PR:L), which is the main limiting factor. No SSVC decision data was supplied. Net: a genuine, easily-exploitable flaw whose real-world risk is capped by low deployment footprint and the authentication requirement, not by the (implausibly low) vendor score.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated low-privileged user of an openSIS-Classic deployment sends a crafted request to the Student List Search endpoint with a malicious LO_sort value that is concatenated into the SQL query in GetStuListFnc.php's DBQuery function. Because a public proof-of-concept is available (GitHub issue #476), the attacker can reliably extract student records, staff data, and potentially password hashes from the backend database via UNION-based or error-based injection. Exploitation is remote and low-complexity but requires a valid application login.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026

Authenticated SQL injection in OS4ED openSIS-Classic 9.3 and earlier allows a low-privileged user to manipulate the LO_sort argument in the Student List Search endpoint, which reaches the DBQuery function and can expose or alter database contents. The issue is remotely exploitable, requires a valid session (CVSS PR:L), and publicly available exploit code exists; there is no confirmed CISA KEV active exploitation. The affected release is a niche open-source PHP student information system, so real-world priority is modest despite the SQL injection class.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the project was reportedly informed via the GitHub issue but has not responded. Until a patch is available, restrict access to the Student List Search endpoint and the functions/GetStuListFnc.php functionality to trusted administrative users, understanding that this removes legitimate low-privileged teacher/staff access. Add server-side validation for the LO_sort parameter using an allow-list of permitted column names and reject unexpected characters, or deploy a virtual patch/WAF rule targeting SQLi payloads in LO_sort, while accepting that WAFs are bypassable and can cause false positives. Because exploitation requires an authenticated session, enforce least privilege on application accounts, reduce database permissions for the web application user (ideally read-only where possible, though that may break legitimate writes), and monitor database and web logs for anomalous sorting parameters or SQL errors. Track https://github.com/OS4ED/openSIS-Classic/issues/476 and https://github.com/OS4ED/openSIS-Classic/ for an upstream fix; apply the first confirmed patched release after 9.3 if one is published. A code-level fix should replace DBQuery string concatenation with parameterized queries/prepared statements and audit all callers of the same function.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is the Student List Search endpoint in OS4ED openSIS-Classic, a PHP-based student information system; CPE cpe:2.3:a:os4ed:opensis-classic:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* maps to the openSIS-Classic product line. CWE-89 (SQL injection) is the root cause: the LO_sort parameter is accepted by functions/GetStuListFnc.php and passed unsanitized into the DBQuery function, which builds SQL dynamically rather than using parameterized statements. Because the vulnerable code path is reachable remotely over HTTP after authentication, a user with a low-privileged account can influence the SQL query; the assessed CVSS:3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N, meaning high confidentiality and low integrity impact but no availability impact. Public exploit code is referenced via GitHub issue #476, which lowers the skill barrier but does not by itself indicate active campaigns.

DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in OS4ED openSIS-Classic up to 9.3. This impacts the function DBQuery of the file functions/GetStuListFnc.php of the component Student List Search Endpoint. This manipulation of the argument LO_sort causes sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
