CVE-2026-3151 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode College Management System version 1.0, located in the /login/login.php script. The vulnerability is triggered by manipulation of the 'email' parameter, which is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data, data modification, or disruption of service. The vulnerability does not require any user interaction or privileges, making it easier to exploit remotely. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, low complexity, no authentication required, and partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although no known exploits are currently active in the wild, the public availability of exploit code increases the risk of exploitation. The vulnerability affects only version 1.0 of the product, which is a college management system likely used by educational institutions to manage student and faculty data. No official patches or mitigation links are provided, indicating that users must implement their own protective measures or seek vendor updates. The vulnerability highlights the critical need for secure coding practices such as input validation and use of parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks.

The impact of CVE-2026-3151 on organizations using the itsourcecode College Management System can be significant. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive student and faculty information, including personal identification and academic records, thereby violating privacy regulations and damaging institutional reputation. Attackers could also modify or delete data, compromising data integrity and potentially disrupting academic and administrative operations. The availability of the system could be affected if attackers execute destructive SQL commands. Given the vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely, the attack surface is broad, increasing the risk of automated attacks or mass exploitation attempts. Educational institutions, especially those lacking robust cybersecurity defenses, may face data breaches, regulatory penalties, and operational downtime. The absence of official patches further exacerbates the risk, necessitating immediate mitigation efforts to reduce exposure.

To mitigate CVE-2026-3151, organizations should implement multiple layers of defense: 1) Apply input validation and sanitization on the 'email' parameter to reject or properly encode malicious inputs. 2) Refactor the vulnerable code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements, eliminating direct concatenation of user input into SQL commands. 3) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the login endpoint. 4) Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing, including automated scanning and manual penetration testing focused on injection flaws. 5) Monitor logs for unusual database query patterns or repeated failed login attempts that may indicate exploitation attempts. 6) If vendor patches become available, prioritize timely application. 7) Consider isolating or restricting access to the affected system to trusted networks until remediation is complete. 8) Educate developers and administrators on secure coding practices and incident response procedures related to injection vulnerabilities.
