📦 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 chaining.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to sensitive student records, grades, personal information, and potential privilege escalation within the application.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and database permissions, potentially only error messages or partial data exposure.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploit published on GitHub; requires access to admin interface but SQL injection is straightforward once authenticated.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Unknown
Vendor Advisory: https://itsourcecode.com/
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
No official patch available. Consider migrating to alternative software or implementing workarounds.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation Filter
allAdd parameter validation to only accept numeric IDs in admin_single_student.php
Modify PHP code to use: if(!is_numeric($_GET['ID'])) { die('Invalid input'); }
WAF Rule
allImplement web application firewall rules to block SQL injection patterns
Add WAF rule: Detect and block SQL keywords in ID parameter
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Restrict access to /admin_single_student.php using IP whitelisting or network segmentation
- Implement database user with minimal permissions (read-only if possible) for the application
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Test ID parameter with SQL injection payloads: /admin_single_student.php?ID=1' OR '1'='1
Check Version:
Check system documentation or about page; version may be displayed in footer or admin panel
Verify Fix Applied:
Attempt SQL injection tests; successful fix should return error or no data manipulation
