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: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
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 3 Mar 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

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should first check for any official patches or updates from itsourcecode and apply them promptly once available. In the absence of patches, immediate steps include implementing strict input validation and sanitization on the course_code parameter to prevent malicious SQL code injection. Employing parameterized queries or prepared statements in the application code is critical to eliminate SQL injection risks. Restricting administrative access to trusted personnel and enforcing strong authentication mechanisms can reduce the risk of exploitation by unauthorized users. Regularly auditing and monitoring database queries and logs for suspicious activity can help detect exploitation attempts early. Additionally, conducting security code reviews and penetration testing focused on SQL injection vectors in the application will help identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities. Backup critical data regularly to ensure recovery in case of data corruption or loss. Finally, educating administrators and developers about secure coding practices and the risks of SQL injection will help prevent future vulnerabilities.

Description

A vulnerability was found in itsourcecode College Management System 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /admin/class-result.php. Performing a manipulation of the argument course_code results in sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.

Impact

The primary impact of this vulnerability is unauthorized access to or manipulation of the backend database of the affected college management system. Attackers with high privileges could exploit the SQL injection to extract sensitive student and administrative data, modify grades or records, or disrupt normal database operations. This could lead to data breaches, loss of data integrity, and potential reputational damage for educational institutions using this software. Since the vulnerability requires high privileges, the risk is somewhat mitigated by the need for attacker authentication, but insider threats or compromised accounts could still exploit it. The availability of public exploit code increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts. Organizations worldwide using this system or similar vulnerable versions are at risk of data compromise and operational disruption. The impact is primarily on confidentiality and integrity, with limited direct impact on availability. However, successful exploitation could indirectly affect availability if database operations are disrupted.
