CVE-2025-6403 Scanner

Code-Projects School Fees Payment System is a software solution commonly used by educational institutions to manage student fee transactions efficiently. It provides functionalities for both administrators and students, allowing seamless online fees management, reporting, and record-keeping. Schools and colleges adopt this system to streamline their fee collection processes, keeping track of payments, and generating financial reports for better administrative control. The software is typically used by academic institutions looking to digitize their operational processes. The popularity of such systems is attributed to their ability to reduce administrative burdens and enhance accuracy in financial transactions.

SQL Injection is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to interfere with the queries that an application makes to its database. It generally involves inputting malicious SQL code into an entry field for execution. In this context, the vulnerability exists in the way the Code-Projects School Fees Payment System 1.0 processes the ID parameter within the /student.php file. This vulnerability can potentially expose sensitive database information. Because of its criticality, it allows attackers to perform unintended database operations, posing severe risks to data integrity and confidentiality.

The vulnerability in the Code-Projects School Fees Payment System arises from inadequate validation of the ID parameter in /student.php. Arbitrary malicious SQL statements can be appended to database queries via user input, as seen in crafted GET requests sent to the vulnerable endpoint. The template's tests show the potential for an XPath syntax error and the exploit's effect on the database execution duration due to time-based blind SQL Injection mechanisms. Specifically, the manipulation can cause either errors or delays in response time, confirming the presence of the SQL Injection vector. This indicates potential for direct database manipulation or theft of data.

If exploited, this vulnerability may allow unauthorized attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the school's database. Such exploits can lead to wholesale data breaches, permitting the attacker to read, modify, or delete sensitive financial and personal student records. This can further result in financial loss, reputational damage to the institution, and legal ramifications due to data protection violations. In severe scenarios, unauthorized administrative access or service disruption may occur, severely impacting the institution's operational capacity.
