CVE-2024-54934 is a critical SQL Injection vulnerability affecting Kashipara E-learning Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability resides in the /admin/delete_class.php script, which fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before incorporating it into SQL queries. This flaw allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL code without requiring authentication or user interaction, enabling them to manipulate the backend database directly. Exploitation can lead to unauthorized data disclosure, modification, or deletion, and potentially full system compromise if the database is leveraged to execute further commands. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command). The CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8 reflects its critical nature, with attack vector being network-based, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. While no public exploits have been reported yet, the vulnerability's characteristics make it highly exploitable. The lack of available patches increases the urgency for organizations to implement immediate mitigations. This vulnerability poses a severe risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems running this software, especially in educational institutions relying on this platform for class management.

The impact of CVE-2024-54934 is severe for organizations using Kashipara E-learning Management System v1.0. Successful exploitation can lead to full compromise of the backend database, exposing sensitive educational data such as student records, class information, and administrative credentials. Attackers could alter or delete critical data, disrupt educational services, or use the compromised system as a foothold for further network intrusion. The vulnerability's remote and unauthenticated nature increases the attack surface, allowing attackers to exploit it over the internet without prior access. This can result in data breaches, loss of trust, regulatory penalties, and operational downtime. Educational institutions and service providers relying on this platform may face significant reputational damage and financial losses. The absence of known exploits currently does not diminish the risk, as the vulnerability is straightforward to exploit and likely to be targeted soon.

To mitigate CVE-2024-54934, organizations should immediately implement the following measures: 1) Apply any available patches or updates from the vendor; if none exist, consider disabling or restricting access to the /admin/delete_class.php endpoint. 2) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this endpoint. 3) Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, especially parameters passed to SQL queries. 4) Refactor the application code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent injection. 5) Restrict administrative interface access to trusted IP addresses or VPN-only access to reduce exposure. 6) Monitor database logs and application logs for unusual query patterns or errors indicative of injection attempts. 7) Educate developers and administrators about secure coding practices and the risks of SQL injection. 8) Consider deploying intrusion detection systems (IDS) to alert on suspicious activities related to database access. These steps, combined, will reduce the risk of exploitation until a formal patch is released.
