CVE-2025-5214 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.0 of the Kashipara Responsive Online Learing Platform, specifically within the /courses/course_detail_user_new.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 an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries on the backend database without requiring user interaction or privileges. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no known active exploits have been reported in the wild yet. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity level. The vector metrics highlight that the attack can be performed remotely (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction needed (UI:N). The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is limited (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L), suggesting partial compromise potential rather than full system takeover. The vulnerability does not affect the security context or scope beyond the vulnerable component. The product name contains a typographical error ('Learing' instead of 'Learning'), which may complicate identification and patching efforts. No patches or fixes have been linked yet, and no CWE identifiers were provided, but the nature of the flaw clearly corresponds to CWE-89 (SQL Injection).

For European organizations using the Kashipara Responsive Online Learning Platform version 1.0, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their educational data. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, modification, or deletion of course-related information, potentially disrupting learning services and damaging organizational reputation. Given the platform's role in managing course details, attackers might extract sensitive student or instructor information or alter course content, impacting educational outcomes. Although the vulnerability is rated medium severity, the lack of authentication and user interaction requirements means attacks can be automated and widespread if the platform is exposed to the internet. This risk is heightened for educational institutions and e-learning providers in Europe relying on this software, especially those without robust network segmentation or web application firewalls. Additionally, the public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts, necessitating prompt mitigation.

Organizations should immediately audit their deployment of the Kashipara Responsive Online Learning Platform to determine if version 1.0 is in use. If so, they should implement the following specific measures: 1) Apply any available patches or updates from the vendor as soon as they are released. In the absence of official patches, consider temporary mitigations such as disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable endpoint (/courses/course_detail_user_new.php) via web server configuration or network controls. 2) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'ID' parameter. 3) Conduct thorough input validation and parameterized query enforcement in the application code to prevent injection, if source code access and development resources are available. 4) Monitor web server and database logs for suspicious queries or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable endpoint. 5) Restrict external access to the platform where possible, limiting exposure to trusted networks or VPNs. 6) Educate IT and security teams about the vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include steps for SQL injection attack detection and containment. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific vulnerable parameter and endpoint, leveraging network controls and monitoring to reduce risk until a patch is applied.
