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 an authenticated session with at least low-privilege access (CVSS PR:L), targeting the admin-area script /admin/sum.php and supplying a malicious value in the ID parameter, which is passed unsanitized into a SQL query. The attack is remote and needs no user interaction, but the authentication requirement and the admin-path location are the key limiting factors: an attacker must first possess valid credentials to the Online Admission System, so exposure is bounded to deployments where such accounts can be obtained or where the admin interface is reachable by the attacker. |
| Impact | This is a low-to-moderate real-world risk that should not be treated as an urgent priority despite the publicly disclosed exploit. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) describes network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation, but PR:L confirms the attacker must already hold valid low-privilege credentials - and the vulnerable endpoint lives under /admin/sum.php, consistent with an authenticated admin-area function rather than a pre-auth internet-facing flaw. The 4.0 Exploit Maturity is E:P (Proof-of-Concept), matching the 'POC publicly available' signal, but there is NO CISA KEV listing and NO EPSS score provided, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The impact metrics are uniformly Low (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), which for a SQL injection likely reflects limited/partial data exposure rather than full database compromise. Signals are internally consistent (low severity, authenticated, PoC-only) - the main conflict is between the dramatic 'exploit disclosed publicly and may be used' description language and the modest 5.3 score; the score and PR:L requirement are the more reliable guide. EPSS data is missing, which would normally help quantify exploitation likelihood - verify independently if prioritizing. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained a valid low-privilege account on the Online Admission System sends a crafted value in the ID parameter to /admin/sum.php, injecting SQL that the application concatenates into a database query. Because low-complexity public proof-of-concept exploit code exists (referenced via the VulDB submission and the linked GitHub issue), an attacker can replay it with minimal effort to read or manipulate limited database contents. No victim interaction is required. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026
SQL injection in itsourcecode Online Admission System 1.0 lets an authenticated low-privilege user inject arbitrary SQL through the ID parameter of the admin-area script /admin/sum.php, allowing data disclosure or manipulation. Publicly available exploit code exists (referenced via the VulDB submission and a public GitHub issue), although the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed active exploitation. With a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.3 (E:P, PR:L) and only low confidentiality/integrity/availability impact, this is a low-to-moderate risk that should not be treated as an urgent priority despite the public exploit.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis, and the references point only to the VulDB record (https://vuldb.com/vuln/416751), the CVE listing (https://vuldb.com/cve/CVE-2026-108928), and the public exploit disclosure (https://github.com/yulisec/submit/issues/3) rather than to a fixed release from https://itsourcecode.com/. Until an update is published, prioritize compensating controls: remove or rename /admin/sum.php if the summary/reporting function it serves is not required, or gate it behind IP allowlisting or a VPN so only trusted administrative networks can reach it (side effect: legitimate administrators lose off-network access and the script path may be referenced elsewhere and break). If the script must remain reachable, block requests to /admin/ paths carrying SQL metacharacters in the ID parameter using a reverse-proxy or WAF rule (side effect: false positives on legitimate numeric input and reliance on signature matching that can be bypassed). Enforce least privilege on the application's database account so that even successful injection cannot read or alter tables outside those the endpoint requires, and rotate database and admin credentials if compromise is suspected. Finally, if the codebase is maintained in-house, replace the string-concatenated query in /admin/sum.php with parameterized/prepared statements and validate ID as an integer before it reaches the query. Confirming exploitation requires reviewing web server and database logs for anomalous requests to /admin/sum.php with suspicious ID payloads.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a PHP web application, itsourcecode Online Admission System 1.0, an admission/enrollment management script distributed by itsourcecode.com. The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): the ID argument accepted by /admin/sum.php is concatenated into a SQL statement without parameterization or escaping, so attacker-controlled input is interpreted as SQL syntax. Typical consequences for this class of bug include UNION-based or boolean/error-based extraction of rows from the backend database (student records, admin credentials depending on schema and query context) and, where the DB user has sufficient rights, potential data modification. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) and the independent assessment (CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) agree that the attack is remote, requires low privileges, needs no user interaction, and is scoped to the application with limited impact. The CPE record cpe:2.3:a:itsourcecode:online_admission_system:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* carries a wildcard version, and the description states version 1.0 is affected.
