| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| 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. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2026-2090 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability found in SourceCodester Online Class Record System version 1.0, specifically in the file `/admin/message/search.php`.
The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the `term` parameter, which is used in constructing SQL queries without adequate sanitization or neutralization of special characters.
This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands without requiring authentication, impacting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
Attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely by injecting malicious SQL code through the `term` parameter, potentially using techniques such as Boolean-based blind SQL injection, time-based blind SQL injection, and UNION-based SQL injection.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized database access, allowing attackers to retrieve, modify, or delete sensitive data.
Attackers may gain full system control, cause service interruptions, and compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
The attack can be executed remotely without authentication, making it easy for attackers to exploit and potentially cause significant damage.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:

How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "This vulnerability can be detected by testing the /admin/message/search.php endpoint for SQL injection via the 'term' parameter. Attackers and testers can use SQL injection payloads such as boolean-based blind, time-based blind, or UNION-based injections to verify the flaw."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Example commands using sqlmap to detect the vulnerability include:'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'sqlmap -u "http://target/admin/message/search.php?term=test" --dbs'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'sqlmap -u "http://target/admin/message/search.php?term=test" --technique=BEUSTQ'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Additionally, Google dorking can help identify vulnerable targets by searching for: inurl:admin/message/search.php'}] [1, 2]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include:
- Replace the affected product with an alternative solution if possible.
- Implement prepared statements with parameter binding to separate SQL code from user input.
- Apply strict input validation and filtering to ensure inputs conform to expected formats.
- Limit database user permissions to the minimum necessary, avoiding use of high-privilege accounts like root or admin.
- Conduct regular security audits to detect and remediate vulnerabilities promptly.
