CVE-2025-65024 identifies a time-based SQL injection vulnerability in the portabilis i-educar school management software, specifically in versions 2.10.0 and prior. The flaw resides in the agenda_admin_cad.php script, where the cod_agenda GET parameter is concatenated directly into an SQL query without proper sanitization or use of parameterized statements. This improper neutralization of special elements (CWE-89) allows an attacker with an authenticated session to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. The vulnerability is time-based, meaning attackers can infer data by measuring response times, which can bypass some traditional detection mechanisms. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2 reflects a high severity due to network attack vector, low attack complexity, required high privileges (authenticated user), no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no exploits are currently known in the wild, the vulnerability has been addressed in a patch (commit 3e9763a). The vulnerability's presence in a widely used school management system raises concerns about the security of educational data and operational continuity.

For European organizations, especially educational institutions using i-educar, this vulnerability poses a significant risk. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive student and staff data, manipulation or deletion of records, and disruption of school management operations. Such impacts could result in regulatory non-compliance under GDPR due to data breaches, reputational damage, and operational downtime. The requirement for authenticated access limits exposure but insider threats or compromised credentials could facilitate exploitation. Given the critical nature of educational data and the reliance on digital platforms, the vulnerability could undermine trust in digital education infrastructure. Additionally, the disruption of school administrative functions could impact educational delivery and reporting obligations. The lack of known exploits currently provides a window for remediation before widespread attacks occur.

Organizations should immediately apply the patch that addresses this vulnerability (commit 3e9763a) to i-educar versions 2.10.0 and earlier. If patching is not immediately feasible, restrict access to the affected agenda_admin_cad.php script to trusted authenticated users only, ideally through network segmentation or VPNs. Implement strict input validation and enforce parameterized queries or prepared statements in all database interactions to prevent injection attacks. Conduct thorough audits of user privileges to minimize the number of users with access to vulnerable functionality. Monitor logs for unusual query patterns or time-based anomalies that could indicate exploitation attempts. Educate administrators and users about credential security to reduce risks from compromised accounts. Finally, maintain regular backups of the database to enable recovery in case of data tampering or loss.
