CVE-2025-10673 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the itsourcecode Student Information Management System (SIMS). The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function within the file /admin/modules/class/index.php, where the argument 'classId' is improperly sanitized or validated. This flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the 'classId' parameter to inject malicious SQL code, potentially enabling unauthorized access to or modification of the backend database. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no public exploits are currently known in the wild, the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, which may lead to exploitation attempts. The affected product is a student information management system, which typically stores sensitive educational data such as student records, grades, and personal information. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data manipulation, or disruption of system availability. Given the nature of the vulnerability, attackers could craft SQL queries to extract sensitive data or alter records, potentially impacting the integrity and confidentiality of student information.

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions using the itsourcecode SIMS version 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of student data. Unauthorized access to student records could lead to privacy violations under GDPR, resulting in legal and financial penalties. Data manipulation could disrupt academic processes, affecting grading and enrollment systems. The remote, unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the likelihood of attacks, especially in environments where the system is accessible over the internet or poorly segmented networks. Additionally, disruption of availability could impact administrative operations. The medium severity rating suggests moderate impact, but the sensitivity of educational data and regulatory environment in Europe elevates the importance of timely remediation. Institutions relying on this software without proper compensating controls may face reputational damage and compliance issues.

Specific mitigation steps include: 1) Immediate upgrade or patching: Since no patch links are provided, organizations should contact the vendor itsourcecode for an official patch or update to version 1.1 or later that addresses the SQL injection flaw. 2) Input validation and sanitization: Implement strict server-side validation and parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database interactions involving 'classId' and similar inputs. 3) Web application firewall (WAF): Deploy a WAF with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 4) Network segmentation: Restrict access to the SIMS administration interface to trusted internal networks or VPNs to reduce exposure. 5) Monitoring and logging: Enable detailed logging of web requests and database queries to detect anomalous activity indicative of exploitation attempts. 6) Incident response readiness: Prepare to respond to potential data breaches by having data backup, forensic capabilities, and notification procedures in place. 7) User awareness: Educate system administrators about the vulnerability and the importance of applying mitigations promptly. These measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on compensating controls and operational readiness in the absence of an immediate patch.
