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-2026-95925 is a SQL injection vulnerability in Online Reviewer Management System 1.0. It exists in the file /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/databank/btn_functions.php when accessed via the action=update parameter. The vulnerability occurs due to insufficient input validation of the difficulty_id parameter, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL queries into the database.

This flaw enables unauthorized access to sensitive data, data tampering, and potential system compromise without requiring authentication. The exploit has been publicly disclosed.

Detection Guidance

To detect this SQL injection vulnerability, you can test the affected endpoint by sending crafted input to the difficulty_id parameter. Use tools like curl or Burp Suite to send requests such as: curl 'http://target/reviewer_0/admins/assessments/databank/btn_functions.php?action=update&difficulty_id=1' --data 'difficulty_id=1''' or inject SQL syntax like ' OR '1'='1. Monitor for database errors or unexpected responses.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database. Potential impacts include unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification or deletion of data, and complete system compromise. Attackers could steal user credentials, personal information, or other confidential data stored in the database.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to violations of GDPR and HIPAA requirements. GDPR mandates protection of personal data and breach notification within 72 hours. HIPAA requires safeguards for protected health information. A successful SQL injection could result in unauthorized data exposure, leading to regulatory penalties, legal liabilities, and loss of trust.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately apply input validation to sanitize the difficulty_id parameter. Replace dynamic SQL queries with prepared statements. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum required. Conduct a security audit to identify other potential vulnerabilities. Consider temporarily disabling the affected functionality if a patch is unavailable.
