Exploitability
| 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?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "CVE-2026-3486 is a SQL injection vulnerability found in the College Management System version 1.0, specifically in the /admin/student-fee.php file. The vulnerability occurs because the application does not properly sanitize or validate the 'roll_no' parameter, which is used in SQL queries. This allows attackers with valid credentials to inject malicious SQL code through this parameter."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Exploitation requires authentication or prior system access and can be performed remotely. Attackers can use techniques such as time-based blind SQL injection and UNION queries to manipulate the database.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "Proof-of-concept exploits have been publicly disclosed, confirming the vulnerability's presence and ease of exploitation."}] [1, 2, 3]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized database access, allowing attackers to leak sensitive data, tamper with data, gain full system control, and potentially disrupt services.
Because the vulnerability affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system, it poses significant risks including data breaches and operational interruptions.
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
I don't know
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': "The vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'roll_no' parameter in the /admin/student-fee.php file for SQL injection. Proof-of-concept testing has been performed using the sqlmap tool targeting this endpoint."}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'Use sqlmap with parameters targeting the vulnerable URL, for example: sqlmap -u "http://target/admin/student-fee.php?roll_no=1" --cookie="your_auth_cookie" --dbms=mysql --technique=BEUSTQ --level=5 --risk=3'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': "Test for time-based blind SQL injection by injecting payloads such as '1' OR SLEEP(5)-- to observe delayed responses."}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': "Use UNION query payloads to attempt data extraction by injecting crafted SQL code into the 'roll_no' parameter."}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Additionally, vulnerable targets can be identified using Google dorking with the query: inurl:admin/student-fee.php'}] [1, 3]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
[{'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'Immediate mitigation steps include:'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'Implement prepared statements and parameter binding to separate SQL code from user input.'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': "Apply strict input validation and filtering to ensure the 'roll_no' parameter only accepts expected formats."}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'Minimize database user permissions to restrict access rights and limit potential damage.'}, {'type': 'list_item', 'content': 'Conduct regular security audits to detect and address vulnerabilities promptly.'}, {'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'If possible, consider replacing the affected product with a secure alternative, as no known countermeasures have been documented.'}] [1, 3]
