Technical Analysis

This vulnerability affects halex CourseSEL versions 1.0 and 1.1.0. It arises from improper sanitization of the 'seid' HTTP GET parameter in the check_sel function of the IndexController.class.php file, enabling SQL injection attacks. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without user interaction and requires low privileges. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.3, indicating medium severity. The vendor was notified but has not issued any fix or advisory. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database via the 'seid' parameter. This may lead to unauthorized data access or modification. However, the CVSS vector indicates limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts, and no privilege escalation or user interaction is required. The lack of vendor response and patch means the vulnerability remains unmitigated in affected versions.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or remediation is currently available from the vendor. Users of halex CourseSEL versions 1.0 and 1.1.0 should consider implementing application-level input validation or web application firewall (WAF) rules to block or sanitize the 'seid' parameter as a temporary mitigation. Monitoring for suspicious activity related to this parameter is advisable. Check the vendor advisory regularly for updates or official fixes.
