CVE-2026-10110: SQL Injection Vulnerability in Student Details Management System

CVE-2026-10110 is a SQL injection vulnerability found in version 1.0 of the code-projects Student Details Management System. This vulnerability resides in the /index.php file and can be exploited by manipulating the roll argument. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the application’s database queries. Given the public availability of the exploit, organizations using this system are at immediate risk of unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion. This poses a significant threat to data integrity and confidentiality within educational institutions or organizations managing student data.

Attack Chain

1. Attacker identifies the vulnerable /index.php endpoint.
2. Attacker crafts a malicious HTTP request targeting /index.php with a manipulated roll parameter containing SQL injection payloads (e.g., using SQL keywords like UNION, SELECT, or conditional logic).
3. The application fails to properly sanitize or validate the roll parameter before using it in a SQL query.
4. The malicious SQL query is executed against the database, potentially bypassing authentication or authorization controls.
5. The attacker extracts sensitive information from the database, such as student names, addresses, grades, or login credentials.
6. The attacker modifies or deletes data within the database, potentially disrupting the application’s functionality or causing data loss.
7. The attacker could potentially use the SQL injection vulnerability to escalate privileges within the application or gain access to the underlying operating system.

Impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-10110 can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive student data, including personally identifiable information (PII). An attacker could potentially gain full control of the database, leading to data breaches, data corruption, or denial-of-service. Given that the exploit is publicly available, the risk of widespread exploitation is high, potentially affecting any organization utilizing the vulnerable Student Details Management System 1.0. The impact could range from reputational damage to legal and regulatory consequences due to data protection violations.

Recommendation

• Apply input validation and sanitization to the roll parameter in /index.php to prevent SQL injection attacks.
• Deploy the Sigma rule “Detect Exploitation of CVE-2026-10110 via Malicious roll Parameter” to detect exploitation attempts.
• Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection by separating SQL code from user-supplied data.
• Monitor web server logs for suspicious requests to /index.php containing SQL injection payloads, as detected by the rule.
