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
How does this vulnerability affect compliance with common standards and regulations (like GDPR, HIPAA)?:
The SQL injection vulnerability in the Online Enrollment System allows unauthorized access, data leakage, and data tampering. Such impacts can lead to violations of data protection regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, which require the protection of personal and sensitive information from unauthorized access and breaches.
Failure to remediate this vulnerability could result in non-compliance with these standards due to compromised data integrity and confidentiality, potentially leading to legal and financial penalties.
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
CVE-2026-5334 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability found in the Online Enrollment System version 1.0. It specifically affects the handling of the 'deptid' parameter in the file /enrollment/index.php?view=edit&id=3. The system does not properly validate or sanitize this parameter, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code remotely without needing authentication.
This vulnerability is a time-based blind SQL injection affecting MySQL versions 5.0.12 and above, where attackers can manipulate SQL queries by injecting payloads such as those using the SLEEP() function to confirm exploitation.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to the database, leakage of sensitive data, tampering with data, full system compromise, and potential denial of service. Since the attack can be performed remotely without authentication, it poses significant risks to system security and business continuity.
How can this vulnerability be detected on my network or system? Can you suggest some commands?
This SQL injection vulnerability can be detected by testing the 'deptid' POST parameter for injection flaws. One method is to use time-based blind SQL injection payloads, such as injecting "deptid=3 AND (SELECT 2692 FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))WDuX)" to observe if the response is delayed, indicating vulnerability.
Automated tools like sqlmap can be used to confirm the vulnerability by targeting the POST parameter 'deptid' in requests to "/sms/enrollment/controller.php?action=edit".
- Example command using sqlmap: sqlmap -u "http://target/sms/enrollment/controller.php?action=edit" --data="deptid=3" --technique=T --time-sec=5
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Immediate mitigation steps include implementing prepared statements with parameter binding to separate SQL code from user input, preventing injection.
Strict input validation and filtering should be applied to ensure inputs conform to expected formats.
Minimize database user permissions by avoiding the use of high-privilege accounts such as root or admin for routine database operations.
Conduct regular security audits to detect and address vulnerabilities promptly.
