AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in the head.php file of code-projects Online Examination allows usernames and passwords submitted by users to be concatenated directly into a SQL statement. This results in a classic SQL injection condition, identified as CWE‑74 and CWE‑89. The vulnerability can be triggered by sending specially crafted values for the uname and password parameters and can lead to unauthorized reading or modification of the database, potentially compromising the confidentiality and integrity of the application.

Affected Systems

The affected product is code‑projects Online Examination version 1.0. No vendor‑provided patch or release that addresses the injection is listed in the supplied data. Administrators should consult the project maintainers or the upstream repository for any update that resolves the issue.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests a low but non‑zero probability of real‑world exploitation. The issue is not in the CISA KEV catalog. The description states that an attacker can launch the attack remotely via standard HTTP requests that include the uname and password parameters; however, it does not specify whether authentication is required, so it is unclear if the vulnerability is limited to authenticated users or can be abused by unauthenticated actors.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Modify the code to use prepared statements or parameterized queries so that user input is never concatenated directly into SQL commands.
  • Apply strict input validation or escaping for the uname and password fields, ensuring only expected characters and lengths are accepted.
  • Check the code‑projects maintenance repository for a patch or new release that removes the unsanitized SQL construction, and deploy it as soon as it becomes available.
  • Enable monitoring of application logs for unusual SQL queries or authentication attempts that might indicate exploitation attempts.
