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.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-3740 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the itsourcecode University Management System version 1.0, specifically in the file /admin_search_student.php.

The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the src_student (also referred to as admin_search_student) parameter, which is used directly in SQL queries without adequate input validation or sanitization.

This flaw allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code remotely without any authentication, enabling unauthorized access to the database.

A proof-of-concept exploit demonstrates a time-based blind SQL injection attack, confirming the injection point.

Impact Analysis

Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized database access, allowing attackers to retrieve, modify, or delete sensitive data.

Attackers can gain full system control and potentially disrupt services.

Since no authentication is required to exploit this flaw, it is particularly severe and accessible to remote attackers.

Detection Guidance

This SQL injection vulnerability can be detected by testing the vulnerable parameter for injection points. A proof-of-concept demonstrates a time-based blind SQL injection using a payload that causes the database to delay its response, confirming the injection.

One suggested command to detect this vulnerability is using the sqlmap tool with a request file, for example:

  • python sqlmap.py -r 1.txt --batch --dbs

Additionally, Google dorking can be used to identify vulnerable targets by searching for URLs containing the vulnerable script, such as:

  • inurl:admin_search_student.php
Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include:

  • Use prepared statements with parameter binding to separate SQL code from user input, preventing injection.
  • Implement strict input validation and filtering to ensure inputs conform to expected formats.
  • Minimize database user permissions by avoiding use of high-privilege accounts (e.g., root or admin) for routine operations.
  • Conduct regular security audits of code and systems to detect and fix vulnerabilities promptly.

If possible, replace the affected component with an alternative product as no known mitigations or countermeasures have been documented.
