CVE-2025-14334 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0, located in the /new_adviser.php endpoint. The vulnerability arises from insufficient sanitization or validation of the 'Name' parameter, which is directly used in SQL queries. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious SQL code, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion within the backend database. The vulnerability does not require any privileges or user interaction, making it easier to exploit. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium), reflecting the network attack vector, low complexity, and no required authentication. The impact includes potential leakage of sensitive student or adviser data, unauthorized data manipulation, and disruption of system availability. Although no exploits are currently reported in the wild, the public availability of exploit code increases the likelihood of attacks. The absence of patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate mitigation through secure coding practices such as prepared statements and input validation. Given the critical role of student management systems in educational institutions, exploitation could lead to significant operational and reputational damage.

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions using the itsourcecode Student Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access to sensitive student and staff data, including personal identification and academic records. Data confidentiality could be compromised, leading to privacy violations under GDPR. Integrity of records may be undermined by unauthorized modifications, potentially affecting academic outcomes and administrative processes. Availability of the system could be disrupted by malicious queries causing database errors or denial of service. Such impacts could result in regulatory penalties, loss of trust, and operational downtime. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the threat level, especially for institutions with internet-facing installations of the affected software. The medium severity rating suggests a significant but not catastrophic risk, emphasizing the need for prompt remediation to prevent escalation.

European organizations should immediately audit their use of the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0 and identify any exposed /new_adviser.php endpoints. Until an official patch is released, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'Name' parameter. Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied data, employing parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent injection. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential exploitation. Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. Educate IT staff on the vulnerability details and prepare incident response plans. Once available, apply vendor patches promptly. Consider isolating or restricting external access to the affected system to reduce exposure. Regularly update and test backups to ensure data recovery capability in case of compromise.
