Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All installations with the vulnerable endpoint accessible are affected. No special configuration required for exploitation.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Mass exfiltration of all student records including sensitive personal information, leading to data breach, regulatory fines, and reputational damage.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to student records, potential exposure of personally identifiable information (PII), and violation of data privacy regulations.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited or no data exposure if proper network segmentation and access controls are implemented.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, making internet-facing instances particularly vulnerable.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers or compromised internal systems could exploit this vulnerability to access unauthorized student data.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Public exploit details are available in GitHub repositories. The vulnerability requires simple parameter manipulation and no authentication.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Version 2.11 or later

Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/portabilis/i-educar/releases

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Backup your current installation. 2. Update to i-Educar version 2.11 or later. 3. Verify the fix by testing the vulnerable endpoint.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Block Vulnerable Endpoint

all

Temporarily block access to the /module/Api/aluno endpoint using web server configuration or WAF rules.

# Apache: RewriteRule ^/module/Api/aluno - [F]
# Nginx: location ~ ^/module/Api/aluno { deny all; }

Implement API Rate Limiting

all

Add rate limiting to API endpoints to prevent mass enumeration attacks.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network access controls to limit who can access the i-Educar application.
  • Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block unauthorized access to student records.

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test if you can access student records by manipulating the aluno_id parameter in requests to /module/Api/aluno without proper authorization.

Check Version:

Check the i-Educar version in the application interface or configuration files.

Verify Fix Applied:

After patching, attempt the same exploitation technique and verify that proper authorization checks are now enforced.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual number of requests to /module/Api/aluno endpoint
  • Requests with sequential aluno_id parameters
  • Access attempts from unauthorized IP addresses

Network Indicators:

  • Burst of HTTP GET requests to the vulnerable endpoint
  • Pattern of requests with incrementing ID parameters

SIEM Query:

source="web_server" AND (uri="/module/Api/aluno" OR uri LIKE "/module/Api/aluno%") | stats count by src_ip, user_agent
