CVE-2024-54932 identifies a critical SQL Injection vulnerability in Kashipara E-learning Management System version 1.0, located in the /admin/delete_department.php script. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input validation or sanitization of parameters used in SQL queries, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw can be exploited remotely over the network without any authentication or user interaction, as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). Successful exploitation can result in full compromise of the backend database, enabling attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data, escalate privileges, or disrupt system availability. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command). Although no patches or exploits are currently known, the critical severity and ease of exploitation make this a significant threat. The lack of version specificity suggests the issue affects at least version 1.0, the only known release. The vulnerability was reserved on December 6, 2024, and published on December 9, 2024, indicating recent discovery and disclosure. Organizations relying on Kashipara LMS should prioritize vulnerability assessment and mitigation to prevent potential data breaches or service disruptions.

The impact of CVE-2024-54932 is severe for organizations using Kashipara E-learning Management System. Exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive educational data, including user credentials, course materials, and administrative information. Attackers can manipulate or delete database records, causing data integrity loss and operational disruption. The vulnerability also threatens confidentiality, as attackers may extract private information, potentially violating data protection regulations. Availability can be compromised if attackers delete or corrupt critical data, leading to downtime and loss of educational services. Given the unauthenticated and network-exploitable nature, any exposed instance of the vulnerable software is at high risk. This can result in reputational damage, legal consequences, and financial losses for affected institutions. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for proactive defense, but the critical CVSS score underscores the urgency of remediation.

To mitigate CVE-2024-54932, organizations should immediately restrict access to the /admin/delete_department.php endpoint by implementing network-level controls such as IP whitelisting or VPN access to limit exposure. Input validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements should be enforced in the application code to prevent SQL injection. If source code access is available, developers must sanitize all user inputs rigorously and adopt secure coding practices aligned with CWE-89 mitigation guidelines. In the absence of an official patch, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this endpoint. Regularly monitor logs for suspicious activities and anomalous database queries. Conduct thorough security assessments and penetration testing focused on SQL injection vectors. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups of databases to enable recovery in case of data compromise or deletion.
