Technical Analysis

The vulnerability CVE-2026-86223 exists in SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System 1.0. It arises from improper sanitization of the 'course' parameter passed to the mysqli_query function in the file /admin/modal_add_coursea.php, enabling SQL injection attacks. This allows remote attackers to manipulate SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 (medium severity) and does not require privileges or user interaction to exploit. Public exploit code is available, increasing the risk of exploitation.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation of this SQL injection vulnerability can allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database.

The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk. However, the CVSS vector indicates low to limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or vendor advisory is provided in the input data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
