Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

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: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to 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: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to 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.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 22 Feb 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: evidence found.
CVSS exploit maturity: proof of concept public
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), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 29 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.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), 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

Immediately implement input validation and sanitization on the test_id parameter to ensure only expected numeric or predefined values are accepted.
Refactor the vulnerable code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection.
Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary, preventing unauthorized data modification or extraction.
Monitor logs for suspicious SQL query patterns or repeated access attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
If patches or updates become available from the vendor, apply them promptly.
Consider deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting this parameter.
Conduct a comprehensive security review of the entire application to identify and remediate similar injection flaws.
Educate developers on secure coding practices to prevent recurrence.
Establish incident response procedures to quickly address any exploitation attempts.
Isolate the affected system from critical networks until mitigations are in place to limit potential lateral movement.

Description

A vulnerability was found in code-projects Online Reviewer System 1.0. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /system/system/students/assessments/results/studentresult-view.php. The manipulation of the argument test_id results in sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Impact

The SQL injection vulnerability in the Online Reviewer System can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive student data, including assessment results, which compromises confidentiality. Attackers could also alter or delete data, impacting data integrity and potentially causing reputational damage to educational institutions. Availability may be affected if attackers execute destructive queries or cause database errors, disrupting the system’s operation. Given the remote, unauthenticated exploitability, attackers can leverage this vulnerability to gain deeper access into backend databases, potentially pivoting to other internal systems. The impact is particularly severe for organizations relying on this system for critical educational assessments, as data manipulation could affect academic outcomes and trust. The public disclosure of exploit code increases the risk of widespread attacks, especially in environments where the software remains unpatched or unsupported. Organizations may face regulatory and compliance risks if student data is exposed or altered due to this vulnerability.
