Notes: All installations of version 1.0 are vulnerable. The software appears to be a free/open source project with limited vendor support.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise leading to data theft, data destruction, or full system takeover via SQL injection to RCE escalation.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive student information (grades, personal data) and potential database manipulation.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions restricting damage to non-critical data.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, making internet-facing instances particularly vulnerable.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal systems are still vulnerable but require network access, reducing exposure compared to internet-facing deployments.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploit details are publicly available on GitHub. The vulnerability requires no authentication and has simple exploitation vectors.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Not available

Vendor Advisory: Not available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch exists. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation and Sanitization

PHP

Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries for the level_id parameter in /leveledit1.php

Modify /leveledit1.php to use prepared statements: $stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM levels WHERE id = ?'); $stmt->bind_param('i', $level_id);

Web Application Firewall Rules

all

Deploy WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting /leveledit1.php

Add WAF rule: Block requests to /leveledit1.php containing SQL keywords in level_id parameter

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Block external access to /leveledit1.php using firewall rules or web server configuration
  • Implement network segmentation to isolate the Student Information System from sensitive networks

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test /leveledit1.php with SQL injection payloads in level_id parameter (e.g., level_id=1' OR '1'='1)

Check Version:

Check software version in admin panel or configuration files

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that SQL injection payloads no longer execute and return proper error handling

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual database queries from /leveledit1.php
  • SQL syntax errors in application logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts following SQL injection patterns

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests to /leveledit1.php with SQL keywords in parameters
  • Unusual database traffic patterns

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri_path="/leveledit1.php" AND (query_string="*UNION*" OR query_string="*SELECT*" OR query_string="*OR*1=1*")
