CVE-2026-2012 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0. The vulnerability exists in an unspecified function within the /ramonsys/facultyloading/index.php file, where the ID parameter is improperly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL statements. This flaw can be exploited remotely without authentication or user interaction, making it highly accessible to attackers. The injection can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the student management system's database. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 reflects a medium severity, considering the lack of authentication and user interaction required, but limited scope and impact on system components. Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public disclosure of the vulnerability increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts. The vulnerability highlights the critical need for secure coding practices such as input validation and the use of parameterized queries in web applications handling sensitive educational data.

For European organizations, particularly educational institutions using the itsourcecode Student Management System or similar platforms, this vulnerability poses a significant risk of unauthorized access to sensitive student and faculty data. Exploitation could lead to data breaches exposing personal information, academic records, or administrative data, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Integrity of records could be compromised, affecting academic outcomes and institutional trust. Availability may also be impacted if attackers manipulate or delete critical data, disrupting educational operations. The medium severity rating suggests a moderate but tangible risk, especially for institutions lacking robust security measures. The public disclosure increases the urgency for European organizations to assess their exposure and implement mitigations promptly to avoid reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and operational disruptions.

European organizations should immediately audit their use of the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0 and identify instances of the vulnerable component. Until an official patch is released, implement the following mitigations: 1) Apply strict input validation and sanitization on the ID parameter and all user inputs to prevent injection of malicious SQL code. 2) Refactor database queries to use parameterized statements or prepared queries to eliminate direct concatenation of user inputs. 3) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with SQL injection detection and blocking capabilities to provide an additional layer of defense. 4) Monitor logs for suspicious query patterns or repeated access attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 5) Restrict network access to the management system to trusted IPs where feasible. 6) Plan for timely updates and patches from the vendor and test them in controlled environments before deployment. 7) Conduct security awareness training for administrators to recognize and respond to potential exploitation attempts. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on immediate risk reduction and proactive detection tailored to this specific vulnerability and its exploitation vector.
