Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
SI-10 directly prevents SQL injection by requiring validation of user inputs such as the 'e' argument in /staff/index.php.
SI-2 mandates timely flaw remediation, including patching the specific SQL injection vulnerability in Project Worlds Online Time Table Generator 1.0.
SI-9 restricts unauthorized information inputs like manipulated 'e' arguments, providing an additional layer against SQL injection exploits.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Unauthenticated SQL injection in public-facing web application (/staff/index.php) enables exploitation for initial access (T1190) and collection of data from databases via arbitrary SQL queries (T1213.006).

Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-2661 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-89) affecting Project Worlds Online Time Table Generator version 1.0. The issue arises in the unknown processing of the /staff/index.php file, where manipulation of the 'e' argument enables SQL injection.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), making it remotely exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction or privileges required. Attackers can initiate the exploit remotely to achieve low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Advisories referenced in VulDB entries (ctiid.300677, id.300677, submit.520484) and a GitHub issue (ydnd/cve/issues/9) confirm the exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used, with no specific patches or mitigations detailed.
Published on 2025-03-23, the public disclosure of the exploit increases the risk for unpatched instances of this timetable generator software.
