CVE-2024-54925
📋 TL;DR
A SQL injection vulnerability in kashipara E-learning Management System v1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter in /remove_sent_message.php. This enables unauthorized database access, potentially exposing sensitive student and administrative data. All users running the vulnerable version are affected.

📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data manipulation, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution via database functions.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive student records, grades, personal information, and administrative credentials stored in the database.
If Mitigated
Limited information disclosure if database permissions are properly restricted and input validation is implemented elsewhere.
🎯 Exploit Status
The GitHub reference contains detailed exploitation writeup. SQL injection via GET/POST parameter manipulation is straightforward.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: Not available
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Implement parameterized queries or input validation in /remove_sent_message.php.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
allDeploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting /remove_sent_message.php
Input Validation Filter
allAdd PHP input validation to sanitize the id parameter before database queries
// In remove_sent_message.php, add: $id = intval($_GET['id']); // or mysqli_real_escape_string()
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict network access to the application using firewall rules
- Implement database user with minimal required permissions (read-only if possible)
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test /remove_sent_message.php?id=1' OR '1'='1 and observe database errors or unexpected behaviorCheck Version:
Check application version in admin panel or source code commentsVerify Fix Applied:
Verify parameterized queries are implemented and test with SQL injection payloads📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual database queries from web server
- SQL syntax errors in application logs
- Multiple requests to /remove_sent_message.php with suspicious parameters
Network Indicators:
- HTTP requests containing SQL keywords (SELECT, UNION, etc.) in URL parameters
SIEM Query:
web.url:*remove_sent_message.php* AND (web.param:*'* OR web.param:*SELECT* OR web.param:*UNION*)
