| 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-2025-14967 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Student Management System version 1.0, specifically in the /candidates_report.php file. The vulnerability occurs because the application does not properly sanitize or validate the 'school_year' parameter, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code remotely without authentication. This enables attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands, potentially compromising the database and system security. [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can allow attackers to perform unauthorized database access, leak sensitive data, tamper with data, gain comprehensive system control, and cause service interruptions. It threatens the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system, potentially leading to data breaches and disruption of business operations. [1, 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 'school_year' parameter in the /candidates_report.php file for SQL injection. One suggested command is using sqlmap to automate detection: python sqlmap.py --random-agent --batch -u "http://<target-ip>:<port>/candidates_report.php?school_year=1" --dbms=mysql --current-db. Additionally, Google dorking can help identify vulnerable targets by searching for inurl:candidates_report.php. [1, 3]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include replacing the affected product with an alternative, using prepared statements and parameter binding to separate SQL code from user input, implementing strict input validation and filtering on the 'school_year' parameter, minimizing database user permissions to avoid high-privilege accounts for routine operations, and conducting regular security audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities promptly. [1, 3]
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode Student Management System 1.0 allows attackers to perform unauthorized database access, leak sensitive data, tamper with data, and cause service interruptions. Such impacts threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information, which can lead to non-compliance with common standards and regulations like GDPR and HIPAA that require protection of personal and sensitive data. Failure to remediate this vulnerability could result in violations of these regulations due to data breaches or unauthorized data manipulation. [1, 3]
