CVE-2025-15075 identifies a SQL Injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0, specifically within the /student_p.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'ID' parameter, which is directly used in SQL queries. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious SQL code by manipulating the 'ID' argument, potentially extracting, modifying, or deleting data from the backend database. The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 (medium severity) reflects the network attack vector with low complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability does not require authentication, making it accessible to any remote attacker. Although no confirmed exploits are currently observed in the wild, a public proof-of-concept exploit has been released, increasing the likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability affects version 1.0 of the software, and no official patches have been published yet. The lack of secure coding practices such as parameterized queries or prepared statements in handling the 'ID' parameter is the root cause. This flaw can lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data manipulation, or denial of service by corrupting database operations, impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of student records and related sensitive information.

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 data, including personal identification information, academic records, and possibly financial data. This compromises confidentiality and may violate GDPR and other data protection regulations, leading to legal and financial penalties. Integrity of records could be undermined, affecting academic credibility and operational trust. Availability may also be impacted if attackers execute destructive SQL commands or cause database corruption, disrupting educational services. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the attack vector increases the threat surface, particularly for institutions with internet-facing deployments of the affected system. The public availability of an exploit proof-of-concept raises the risk of opportunistic attacks by cybercriminals or hacktivists targeting educational data. Additionally, reputational damage and loss of stakeholder trust could result from a successful breach. The impact is magnified in countries with high adoption of this software or where educational data is a strategic target for cyber espionage or ransomware campaigns.

Organizations should immediately implement input validation and sanitization on all parameters, especially the 'ID' parameter in /student_p.php, to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. Employing parameterized queries or prepared statements is critical to eliminate direct concatenation of user input into SQL commands. Network-level controls should restrict access to the vulnerable endpoint to trusted internal networks or VPN users only. Continuous monitoring and logging of database queries and application logs can help detect anomalous activities indicative of exploitation attempts. Until an official patch is released, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to block typical SQL injection payloads targeting this parameter. Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing of the Student Management System to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Educate IT staff and administrators on the risks and signs of SQL injection attacks. Finally, maintain regular backups of critical data to enable recovery in case of data corruption or deletion caused by exploitation.
