Impact

A publicly known flaw exists in the SourceCodester Online Reviewer Management System 1.0. The delete function in /reviewer_0/admins/assessments/subject/btn_functions.php can be hacked by changing the ID parameter, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands. The resulting injection can read, modify or delete data in the underlying database, potentially exposing sensitive reviewer information or corrupting audit records. The vulnerability is classified as SQL injection, which falls under the Common Weakness Enumeration IDs 74 and 89.

Affected Systems

The affected product is SourceCodester Online Reviewer Management System version 1.0. The flaw resides in an admin endpoint that is reachable through a web interface. No other versions or components are listed as impacted according to the available vendor information.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 6.9, indicating moderate to high severity. The EPSS score is not available, so the likelihood of exploitation cannot be quantified, but the publicly disclosed exploit evidence suggests it is imminently actionable.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Disable or quarantine the remove endpoint until a fix is released by the vendor.
  • Ensure that database queries built from the ID parameter use prepared statements or other whitelist-based validation.
  • Apply least‑privilege principles to the database user that the application uses, restricting it to SELECT, UPDATE, and DELETE only on the necessary tables.
  • Monitor for abnormal database activity and enforce strict logging of any delete operations.
  • Check the SourceCodester website for an updated version or official patch and install it as soon as it becomes available.
