Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 8 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately audit their use of the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0 and restrict external access to the /newsubject.php endpoint where feasible. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on the 'sub' parameter to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. Refactor the application code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements to eliminate direct concatenation of user inputs into SQL commands. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting SQL injection patterns to provide an additional layer of defense. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. If possible, isolate the affected system within segmented network zones to limit exposure. Engage with the vendor or community to obtain patches or updates addressing this vulnerability. Finally, conduct security awareness training for developers to prevent similar issues in future releases.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in itsourcecode Student Management System 1.0. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /newsubject.php. The manipulation of the argument sub leads to sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions using the itsourcecode Student Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk of unauthorized access to sensitive student data, including personal information and academic records. Exploitation could lead to data breaches, loss of data integrity, and potential disruption of educational services. The ability to manipulate database queries remotely without authentication increases the attack surface and risk of widespread compromise. This could result in regulatory non-compliance under GDPR due to exposure of personal data, leading to legal and financial repercussions. Additionally, reputational damage and loss of trust among students and stakeholders are likely consequences. The medium severity rating reflects the balance between exploitability and impact, but the critical nature of educational data elevates the practical risk for affected entities.

Summary

CVE-2025-14258 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0, located in the /newsubject.php script. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'sub' parameter, which is directly incorporated into SQL queries without adequate validation or parameterization. This allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL code, potentially enabling unauthorized reading, modification, or deletion of database records. The attack vector is network accessible without authentication or user interaction, making exploitation feasible by any remote adversary. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P) indicates low complexity and no privileges required, with partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public disclosure of the vulnerability details increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The affected product is primarily used in educational environments to manage student data, making the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information a critical concern. Lack of available patches necessitates immediate mitigation through secure coding practices and monitoring.
