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 16 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 30 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 CVE-2026-4236, organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Apply patches or updates from the vendor as soon as they become available to address the vulnerability directly. 2) In the absence of official patches, refactor the vulnerable code to use parameterized queries or prepared statements, eliminating direct concatenation of user input into SQL commands. 3) Implement rigorous input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied parameters, especially txtsearch, deptname, and name, to reject or neutralize malicious input patterns. 4) Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) configured to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the affected endpoints. 5) Conduct thorough code reviews and security testing, including automated scanning and manual penetration testing, focused on injection flaws. 6) Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual query patterns or repeated access attempts to the vulnerable URL, enabling early detection of exploitation attempts. 7) Educate development and IT teams on secure coding practices and the risks of SQL injection to prevent similar vulnerabilities in future software versions. 8) Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit the impact of any successful injection attack. These targeted actions will reduce the likelihood and impact of exploitation beyond generic advice.

Description

A security vulnerability has been detected in itsourcecode Online Enrollment System 1.0. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /enrollment/index.php?view=add. Such manipulation of the argument txtsearch/deptname/name leads to sql injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.

Impact

The SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Online Enrollment System can have significant impacts on organizations, particularly educational institutions relying on this software for student enrollment management. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive student data, including personal information and enrollment records, resulting in privacy breaches and potential regulatory non-compliance. Attackers might manipulate or delete enrollment data, disrupting academic operations and causing administrative challenges. The integrity of the database could be compromised, leading to inaccurate records and loss of trust in the system. Availability may also be affected if attackers execute destructive queries or cause database errors. Since the vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely, the attack surface is broad, increasing the risk of widespread compromise. Organizations may face reputational damage, legal consequences, and operational downtime if the vulnerability is exploited. The medium severity rating reflects the moderate but tangible risk posed by this flaw, emphasizing the need for timely remediation.
