CVE-2025-14619 identifies a SQL Injection vulnerability in the Student File Management System version 1.0 developed by code-projects. The flaw exists in the login_query.php script, where the stud_no parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands. This injection can be performed remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction, making exploitation relatively straightforward. The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to student records, data leakage, modification of records, or disruption of service depending on the injected payload. The CVSS v4.0 score is 6.9 (medium), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no privileges or user interaction needed. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent. No official patches have been released yet, and no known exploits are actively observed, but public exploit code availability increases the risk of future attacks. The system is typically deployed in educational environments managing student files, making it a target for attackers seeking sensitive academic or personal data.

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions using the affected Student File Management System, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized data access and manipulation. Attackers could extract sensitive student information, alter academic records, or disrupt system availability, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. The impact extends to reputational damage, legal penalties, and operational disruption. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely, attackers from anywhere could target these systems. The medium severity indicates a moderate risk, but the exposure of personal data in educational contexts elevates the concern. Organizations with large student populations or interconnected systems may face broader consequences if attackers leverage this flaw to pivot within their networks.

Immediate mitigation should focus on input validation and sanitization of the stud_no parameter in login_query.php to prevent SQL injection. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements to eliminate direct injection risks. Since no official patch is currently available, organizations should consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious SQL injection patterns targeting stud_no. Conduct thorough code reviews and penetration testing to identify similar injection points. Restrict network access to the Student File Management System to trusted IPs where feasible. Monitor logs for unusual query patterns or failed login attempts that may indicate exploitation attempts. Educate administrators about the vulnerability and prepare incident response plans. Once a vendor patch is released, prioritize prompt application. Additionally, consider isolating the system from critical infrastructure to limit potential lateral movement.
