Attack Vector: Network
Attack Complexity: Low
Privileges Required: None
User Interaction: None
Scope: Unchanged
Confidentiality: High
Integrity: None
Availability: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 7 Aug 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2024-41249, organizations should immediately restrict access to the /smsa/view_subject.php endpoint by implementing proper authentication and authorization controls. This can be done by configuring web server access rules or application-level access control mechanisms to ensure only authorized users can retrieve subject details. If possible, apply any available patches or updates from the software vendor once released. In the absence of official patches, consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) to detect and block unauthorized requests targeting this endpoint. Conduct thorough access reviews and audit logs for unusual access patterns to identify potential exploitation attempts. Additionally, organizations should educate administrators about the risks of exposing sensitive academic data and enforce the principle of least privilege within the school management system. Regularly monitor threat intelligence sources for updates on exploits or patches related to this vulnerability. Finally, consider isolating the management system within a secure network segment to reduce exposure to external threats.

Description

An Incorrect Access Control vulnerability was found in /smsa/view_subject.php in Kashipara Responsive School Management System v3.2.0, which allows remote unauthenticated attackers to view SUBJECT details.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2024-41249 is unauthorized disclosure of subject-related information managed by the Kashipara Responsive School Management System. This breach of confidentiality could lead to privacy violations for students and staff, and may expose sensitive academic program details. While the vulnerability does not enable modification or deletion of data, the leaked information could be used by malicious actors for social engineering, reconnaissance, or to facilitate more sophisticated attacks against educational institutions. Organizations using this system worldwide face reputational damage, potential regulatory compliance issues related to data privacy, and erosion of trust from stakeholders. The ease of exploitation—requiring no authentication or user interaction—means that attackers can automate data harvesting at scale. Although no known exploits are currently reported, the vulnerability's presence in a widely used school management platform increases the risk of future exploitation. The impact is particularly significant for institutions that rely heavily on this software for managing academic subjects and related data.

Pillar weaknessCWE Top 25 (2025): #19OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
