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 14 Dec 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed

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 2026-10-25.

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 implement input validation and sanitization for the 'sy' parameter in /advisers.php, ideally by employing parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. If source code modification is not feasible, deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules targeting SQL injection patterns can provide interim protection. Restrict database user privileges to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of potential exploitation. Conduct thorough code audits of other input parameters to identify similar vulnerabilities. Monitor logs for suspicious SQL query patterns or unusual database activity. Educate IT staff and administrators about the vulnerability and ensure incident response plans are updated to handle potential exploitation. Engage with the vendor for official patches or updates and apply them promptly once available. Additionally, consider network segmentation to isolate critical student management systems from broader institutional networks to reduce lateral movement risk.

Description

A vulnerability has been found in itsourcecode Student Managemen System 1.0. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file /advisers.php. Such manipulation of the argument sy leads to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations, especially educational institutions deploying the itsourcecode Student Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive student and staff data, including personal identifiers and academic records, violating data protection regulations such as GDPR. Integrity of the database could be compromised, allowing attackers to alter grades or attendance records, undermining trust and operational reliability. Availability impacts could disrupt administrative functions, affecting student services and institutional workflows. The remote, unauthenticated nature of the attack increases the risk of widespread exploitation, potentially leading to reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and financial losses. Given the critical role of student management systems, the vulnerability could also be leveraged as a foothold for further network intrusion or lateral movement within educational networks.

Summary

CVE-2025-14661 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0, specifically within the /advisers.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'sy' parameter, which is susceptible to malicious SQL code injection. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database without requiring authentication or user interaction, increasing the attack surface significantly. The injection can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the database by enabling unauthorized data retrieval, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed on December 14, 2025, and although no active exploits have been reported, the public availability of the details raises the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity level, with the vector highlighting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The absence of patches or vendor advisories necessitates immediate defensive measures. This vulnerability is particularly critical for educational institutions using this Student Management System, as attackers could access sensitive student and staff information or disrupt system operations.
