| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-74 | The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. |
| CWE-89 | The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2025-14661 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0, specifically in the /advisers.php file. The vulnerability occurs because the application does not properly sanitize or validate the 'sy' parameter before using it in SQL queries. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code remotely without authentication, enabling unauthorized database operations such as data leakage, tampering, or full system control. [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can impact you by allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands without authentication. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, data leakage, data tampering, disruption of service, and potentially full control over the affected system. The vulnerability compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. [2, 3]
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'sy' parameter in the /advisers.php file for SQL injection. One can use tools like sqlmap with a command such as: python sqlmap.py --random-agent --batch -u "http://<target-ip>:<port>/advisers.php?sy=1" --dbms=mysql --current-db. Additionally, manual testing with payloads like time-based blind injection (e.g., sy=1' AND (SELECT SLEEP(5)) AND 'a'='a) or UNION query injection payloads can help identify the vulnerability. Searching for the vulnerable URL using Google dorking with queries like "inurl:advisers.php" can help find potential targets. [2, 3]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include: 1) Implement prepared statements and parameterized queries to separate SQL code from user input, preventing injection. 2) Apply strict input validation and filtering on the 'sy' parameter to ensure it matches expected formats (e.g., numeric only). 3) Minimize database user permissions by avoiding use of high-privilege accounts such as 'root' or 'admin' for the application database connection. 4) Conduct regular security audits to detect and fix vulnerabilities promptly. If possible, replace the affected component with an alternative product as no known countermeasures are documented. [2, 3]
