CVE-2025-13555 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in Campcodes School File Management System version 1.0, specifically within the Login component's /index.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'stud_no' parameter, which is susceptible to SQL injection attacks. An attacker can remotely manipulate this parameter to inject malicious SQL queries, potentially extracting sensitive data, modifying records, or disrupting database operations. The vulnerability requires no authentication or user interaction, making it easier to exploit remotely over the network. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no privileges or user interaction required, but limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public availability of exploit code increases the likelihood of exploitation. The affected product is primarily used in educational environments for managing school files, making student data and administrative records vulnerable. The lack of patches or official remediation guidance increases the urgency for organizations to implement mitigations such as input validation and prepared statements. The vulnerability highlights the need for secure coding practices in educational software to protect sensitive student and institutional data from unauthorized access and manipulation.

The SQL injection vulnerability in Campcodes School File Management System can have significant impacts on European educational organizations. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive student and staff data, including personal identification and academic records, violating data protection regulations such as GDPR. Data integrity could be compromised by unauthorized modification or deletion of records, potentially disrupting school operations and administrative processes. Availability of the system could also be affected if attackers execute destructive queries or cause database corruption. The remote, unauthenticated nature of the vulnerability increases the risk of widespread exploitation, especially in environments where the system is exposed to the internet or insufficiently segmented networks. This could lead to reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and operational downtime. European schools and educational authorities relying on this system must consider the risk of targeted attacks or opportunistic exploitation by cybercriminals seeking to access or manipulate educational data.

To mitigate CVE-2025-13555, organizations should immediately implement input validation and sanitization on the 'stud_no' parameter to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. Employing parameterized queries or prepared statements in the Login component will effectively neutralize SQL injection attempts. Network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint. Restricting external access to the School File Management System by placing it behind VPNs or internal networks reduces exposure. Organizations should monitor logs for suspicious activity related to the 'stud_no' parameter and unusual database queries. Since no official patches are currently available, consider engaging with the vendor for updates or applying custom patches. Additionally, conducting a thorough security audit of the application for other injection flaws and enforcing secure coding standards will help prevent similar vulnerabilities. Regular backups of the database should be maintained to enable recovery in case of data corruption or deletion.
