CVE-2025-15077 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in an unspecified function within the /form137.php file, where the ID parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code. This injection flaw enables remote attackers to manipulate backend database queries without requiring authentication or user interaction, potentially leading to unauthorized data disclosure, data modification, or deletion. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, reflecting medium severity, with an attack vector of network (remote), low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no known exploits have been observed in the wild, the public disclosure increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The affected product is primarily used in educational environments to manage student data, making the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive personal and academic information at risk. The lack of available patches or vendor advisories necessitates immediate mitigation efforts by users. This vulnerability highlights the critical need for secure coding practices such as input validation and the use of parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks.

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions using the itsourcecode Student Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of student records and administrative data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive personal information, academic records, and potentially allow attackers to alter or delete critical data. This could result in reputational damage, legal liabilities under GDPR for data breaches, and operational disruptions. The medium severity score reflects a moderate risk; however, the lack of authentication and user interaction requirements increases the threat landscape. Institutions relying on this software without timely mitigation may face targeted attacks, especially as the vulnerability is publicly disclosed. The potential for data exfiltration or manipulation could undermine trust in educational services and complicate compliance with European data protection regulations.

Organizations should immediately audit their use of the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0 and restrict access to the vulnerable /form137.php endpoint where possible. Since no official patches are currently available, implement strict input validation on the ID parameter to ensure only expected numeric or alphanumeric values are accepted. Employ parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code to prevent SQL injection. Network-level protections such as web application firewalls (WAFs) should be configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting this endpoint. Additionally, monitor logs for suspicious query patterns or unusual database activity. If feasible, isolate the affected system from external networks or restrict access to trusted IP addresses until a vendor patch is released. Educate IT staff and users about the risks and signs of exploitation. Finally, maintain regular backups of critical data to enable recovery in case of data tampering or loss.
