CVE-2026-1595

7.3 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2026-1595 is an SQL injection vulnerability in itsourcecode Society Management System 1.0 that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the student_id parameter in /admin/edit_student_query.php. This affects all organizations using this specific software version. Successful exploitation could lead to data theft, modification, or deletion.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • itsourcecode Society Management System
Versions: 1.0
Operating Systems: All platforms running PHP and MySQL/MariaDB
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires PHP environment with database connectivity. The /admin/edit_student_query.php file must be accessible.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete database compromise allowing data exfiltration, privilege escalation, and potential system takeover via SQL injection leading to remote code execution.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive student and administrative data, including personal information, grades, and financial records stored in the database.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions restricting attacker to read-only operations on non-sensitive tables.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and affects an internet-facing administrative interface with public exploit available.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers could exploit this to escalate privileges or access sensitive data, though attack surface is smaller.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploit requires access to admin interface but SQL injection is straightforward once authenticated. Public proof-of-concept exists in GitHub repository.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider replacing with alternative software or implementing custom fixes with parameterized queries and input validation.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules

all

Implement WAF rules to block SQL injection patterns targeting student_id parameter

# Example ModSecurity rule:
SecRule ARGS:student_id "@detectSQLi" "id:1001,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'SQL Injection Attempt'"
# Example naxsi rule:
MainRule "str:student_id" "msg:sql injection" "mz:ARGS" "s:$SQL:4" id:1001;

Input Validation Filter

all

Add input validation to sanitize student_id parameter before processing

<?php
// Add to edit_student_query.php
$student_id = filter_var($_POST['student_id'], FILTER_VALIDATE_INT);
if ($student_id === false) {
    die('Invalid student ID');
}
?>

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Restrict access to /admin/edit_student_query.php using IP whitelisting or authentication requirements
  • Implement database user with minimal privileges (read-only if possible) for the application

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Test by sending SQL injection payloads to student_id parameter: curl -X POST -d "student_id=1' OR '1'='1" http://target/admin/edit_student_query.php

Check Version:

Check software version in admin panel or review source code for version markers

Verify Fix Applied:

Attempt SQL injection tests and verify they are blocked or return error messages instead of executing SQL

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual SQL errors in application logs
  • Multiple failed login attempts followed by SQL injection patterns
  • Requests to /admin/edit_student_query.php with special characters in parameters

Network Indicators:

  • POST requests to /admin/edit_student_query.php containing SQL keywords (UNION, SELECT, INSERT) in parameters
  • Unusual database connection patterns from web server

SIEM Query:

source="web_logs" AND uri="/admin/edit_student_query.php" AND (student_id="*'*" OR student_id="*;*" OR student_id="*--*" OR student_id="*/*")
