CVE-2025-15075 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0, specifically within the /student_p.php endpoint. The vulnerability arises from insufficient sanitization or improper handling of the 'ID' parameter, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This injection can be performed remotely without requiring authentication or user interaction, increasing the attack surface significantly. The vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate backend database queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or denial of service. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L). Although no patches or official fixes have been released, the public disclosure of the exploit increases the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability is particularly concerning for educational institutions that rely on this software to manage sensitive student data, including personal information and academic records. Attackers exploiting this flaw could exfiltrate sensitive data, alter records, or disrupt system availability, impacting operational continuity and compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR.

For European organizations, especially educational institutions using the itsourcecode Student Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of student data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of personal data, violating GDPR and other privacy laws, resulting in legal and financial penalties. Data integrity could be compromised by unauthorized modification of student records, affecting academic outcomes and institutional reputation. Availability impacts could disrupt administrative operations, causing delays and operational inefficiencies. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the likelihood of attacks, potentially from opportunistic or targeted threat actors. The public availability of the exploit code further elevates the risk of widespread exploitation. European organizations may face increased scrutiny from regulators and damage to trust from students, parents, and staff if breaches occur.

Immediate mitigation steps include implementing strict input validation and sanitization on the 'ID' parameter within /student_p.php to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. Refactoring the code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements is essential to eliminate SQL injection risks. Organizations should conduct a thorough code review and security audit of the entire application to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this endpoint. Monitoring database logs and application logs for unusual query patterns or errors can help detect exploitation attempts early. Since no official patches are available, organizations should consider isolating or restricting access to the vulnerable system until remediation is complete. Additionally, regular backups of critical data should be maintained to enable recovery in case of data corruption or loss. Educating IT staff and users about the vulnerability and encouraging prompt reporting of suspicious activity will enhance overall security posture.
