CVE-2024-50835 identifies a SQL Injection vulnerability in the KASHIPARA E-learning Management System Project 1.0, specifically in the /admin/edit_student.php endpoint. The vulnerability affects multiple parameters: cys, un, ln, fn, and id. An attacker with authenticated access and low privileges can exploit this flaw by injecting malicious SQL code through these parameters. The vulnerability does not require elevated privileges beyond low-level authentication, but it does require user interaction, such as submitting crafted input via the web interface. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, user interaction required, unchanged scope, and limited confidentiality impact without affecting integrity or availability. No public exploits or patches are currently available, and the affected version is identified as 1.0 without further version details. The root cause is improper input sanitization and lack of parameterized queries, typical of CWE-89 SQL Injection. This vulnerability could allow attackers to extract sensitive information from the backend database, potentially exposing student or administrative data.

The primary impact of this vulnerability is limited confidentiality loss, as attackers can potentially extract sensitive data from the database by exploiting the SQL Injection flaw. Since the vulnerability requires authenticated access with low privileges and user interaction, the attack surface is somewhat constrained. However, in an educational environment, unauthorized access to student records or administrative data could lead to privacy violations, reputational damage, and compliance issues. The vulnerability does not affect data integrity or system availability, so it is unlikely to cause data corruption or service disruption. Organizations relying on the KASHIPARA E-learning Management System may face targeted attacks from insiders or compromised accounts. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the lack of patches means the vulnerability remains exploitable if discovered by malicious actors.

To mitigate CVE-2024-50835, organizations should implement strict input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially the cys, un, ln, fn, and id parameters in the /admin/edit_student.php page. Employing parameterized queries or prepared statements will prevent SQL Injection by separating code from data. Restricting access to the admin interface to trusted users and enforcing strong authentication mechanisms can reduce the risk of exploitation. Monitoring and logging database queries for unusual patterns may help detect attempted injections. Since no official patch is available, organizations should consider code review and manual remediation of vulnerable code sections. Additionally, applying web application firewalls (WAFs) with SQL Injection detection rules can provide a temporary protective layer. Regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on injection flaws are recommended to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities proactively.
