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: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within 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: None: There is no impact to availability within 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.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 5 Jun 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

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 26 Oct 2026.

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 or the CVSS exploit maturity 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

European organizations should immediately assess their deployment of SourceCodester Student Result Management System version 1.0 and restrict access to the /admin/core/new_user interface to trusted internal networks only, using network segmentation and firewall rules. Implement strict access control lists (ACLs) and consider deploying web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block unauthorized attempts to access the vulnerable endpoint. Monitor logs for unusual activity related to user registration or account creation. Additionally, conduct regular audits of user accounts and permissions to detect unauthorized changes. Educate IT staff on this vulnerability and establish incident response plans to quickly address any exploitation attempts. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups of critical data to enable recovery in case of data integrity compromise.

Description

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in SourceCodester Student Result Management System 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /admin/core/new_user of the component Register Interface. The manipulation leads to improper access controls. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions or administrative bodies using the SourceCodester Student Result Management System, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized access or manipulation of student records and user accounts. The integrity of student results and administrative data could be compromised, potentially leading to data tampering, unauthorized user creation, or privilege escalation within the system. This could undermine trust in academic records and administrative processes, potentially causing reputational damage and regulatory compliance issues under GDPR if personal data integrity is affected. Although the vulnerability does not directly impact confidentiality or availability, the integrity impact can have significant operational consequences. Furthermore, since the exploit requires no authentication and can be initiated remotely, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to gain footholds in networks, especially if the system is exposed to the internet or poorly segmented internally. The absence of known exploits in the wild reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, as public disclosure increases the likelihood of future exploitation attempts.
