CVE-2024-54931 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the Kashipara E-learning Management System version 1.0, specifically in the /admin/delete_event.php endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the id parameter, which is used in SQL queries to delete events from the system's database. An attacker can remotely send crafted requests to this endpoint, injecting arbitrary SQL commands that the database executes. This allows unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification or deletion of records, and potentially full control over the database backend. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, making it highly exploitable over the network. The CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8 reflects the vulnerability's critical nature, with attack vector being network-based, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command). No patches or official fixes have been released at the time of publication, and no active exploitation has been reported. Given the nature of the vulnerability, attackers could leverage it to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected systems, potentially leading to data breaches, service disruption, and further lateral movement within the victim's network.

The impact of CVE-2024-54931 is severe for organizations using the Kashipara E-learning Management System. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive educational data, including user credentials, course materials, and personal information. Attackers can modify or delete critical data, disrupting educational services and causing operational downtime. The ability to execute arbitrary SQL commands may also allow attackers to escalate privileges or pivot to other internal systems, increasing the scope of compromise. Educational institutions, training providers, and any organization relying on this LMS face risks of data breaches, reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and loss of trust. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication, it can be exploited by any remote attacker, increasing the attack surface significantly. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for remediation before widespread attacks occur.

To mitigate CVE-2024-54931, organizations should immediately implement the following measures: 1) Apply input validation and sanitization on the id parameter to ensure only valid, expected values are processed. 2) Refactor the application code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 3) Restrict access to the /admin/delete_event.php endpoint using network-level controls such as firewalls or VPNs to limit exposure. 4) Monitor web server and database logs for suspicious activity related to SQL injection attempts. 5) Conduct a thorough security audit of the entire application to identify and remediate other potential injection points. 6) If possible, isolate the LMS database and enforce least privilege principles on database accounts. 7) Stay alert for official patches or updates from the Kashipara project and apply them promptly once available. 8) Educate administrators and developers about secure coding practices to prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future.
