Impact

A flaw in the smarksrange[] parameter of the /lecturer/marking-scheme.php script allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL code into the application’s database. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-74 and CWE-89. If exploited, an attacker could read, modify, or delete database records, thereby compromising the confidentiality and integrity of the stored data.

Affected Systems

code-projects Assessment Management version 1.0 is affected. The flaw resides in the marking-scheme.php file accessed via the web interface. No other versions are mentioned, and the application uses a relational database.

Risk and Exploitability

The attack can be launched remotely over HTTP. The CVSS base score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. No authentication prerequisite is noted, which could broaden the potential impact.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor‑issued patch as soon as it becomes available.
  • Restrict access to /lecturer/marking-scheme.php so that only authenticated lecturer accounts can invoke it, blocking unauthenticated or low‑privilege users.
  • Configure strict input validation on the smarksrange[] parameter, accepting only numeric values and rejecting any data containing special characters or SQL control syntax.
  • Modify the application code to use parameterized SQL queries or prepared statements, eliminating the use of unsanitized user input in database calls.
  • Ensure the database user account used by Assessment Management has only the minimal privileges required for its operations; avoid granting superuser or administrative rights.
