Impact
The vulnerability resides in an unspecified function of archive5.php, where the argument sy is not properly sanitized, allowing SQL injection. This flaw can enable a remote attacker to manipulate the application’s SQL queries, potentially reading, modifying, or deleting data stored in the underlying database. The weakness corresponds to CWE-74 (URL Parameter Manipulation) and CWE-89 (SQL Injection), both of which directly threaten data confidentiality and integrity.
Affected Systems
The affected system is the SourceCodester Class and Exam Timetabling System, version 1.0, as supplied by SourceCodester. No additional versions are listed as impacted by this report.
Risk and Exploitability
The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 6.9, indicating a moderate risk level. An EPSS score is not available, so the exact exploitation probability is unknown, but the public availability of the exploit suggests that attackers could realistically target vulnerable instances. The flaw is not currently listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, but the ability to inject SQL remotely without authentication remains a serious concern.
