CVE-2025-14639 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0, located in the /uprec.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'ID' parameter, which an attacker can manipulate to inject malicious SQL code. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries on the backend database without requiring authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system's data, potentially enabling data leakage, unauthorized data modification, or denial of service. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, reflecting medium severity, with attack vector network (remote), low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no exploits have been reported in the wild, the public availability of exploit code increases the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability is specific to version 1.0 of the product, indicating that later versions may have addressed the issue or that patching is required. The lack of official patches or mitigation guidance necessitates immediate attention from users of this software. The vulnerability is particularly concerning for educational institutions that rely on this Student Management System to manage sensitive student data, as exploitation could lead to exposure of personal information or disruption of educational services.

For European organizations, especially educational institutions using the itsourcecode Student Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive student and staff data, including personal identification, academic records, and possibly financial information. Data integrity could be compromised by unauthorized modification or deletion of records, impacting the reliability of educational data. Availability may also be affected if attackers execute SQL commands that disrupt database operations or cause denial of service. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the attack surface, making it easier for threat actors to target vulnerable systems. Given the sensitivity of educational data and regulatory requirements such as GDPR in Europe, a breach could result in legal penalties, reputational damage, and loss of trust. Additionally, the public availability of exploit code could lead to opportunistic attacks, increasing the urgency for mitigation. The impact extends beyond individual institutions to potentially affect national education infrastructure and data privacy compliance across Europe.

1. Immediate code review and remediation of the /uprec.php file to ensure proper input validation and sanitization of the 'ID' parameter. 2. Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks. 3. Conduct a comprehensive security audit of the entire Student Management System to identify and fix any other injection points or vulnerabilities. 4. Restrict network access to the Student Management System backend, limiting exposure to trusted IP addresses or internal networks only. 5. Deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules specifically designed to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the vulnerable parameter. 6. Monitor logs for unusual database queries or access patterns indicative of exploitation attempts. 7. Educate system administrators and developers on secure coding practices and the importance of timely patching. 8. If possible, upgrade to a newer, patched version of the software or apply vendor-provided patches once available. 9. Implement regular backups and ensure they are stored securely to enable recovery in case of data corruption or loss. 10. Coordinate with national cybersecurity agencies for threat intelligence sharing and incident response support.
