Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-0544 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-89) discovered in the itsourcecode School Management System version 1.0. The issue affects an unknown component of the file /student/index.php, where manipulation of the 'ID' argument enables the injection. Published on 2026-01-01, it 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), classifying it as high severity.
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability without authentication or user interaction, requiring only low attack complexity over the network. Successful exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability through SQL injection, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption depending on the database backend.
Advisories documented on VulDB (e.g., ctiid.339331, id.339331) and a public exploit disclosure on GitHub (ltranquility/CVE/issues/31) highlight the issue, with the exploit available for potential attacks. No specific patches or vendor mitigations are detailed in the available references, though the vendor site (itsourcecode.com) is referenced for further context.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly requires validation of inputs such as the 'ID' parameter to reject malformed or malicious SQL syntax before it reaches the database.
Enforces that only authorized, properly formed requests are allowed to access or modify data, blocking the unauthenticated remote SQL injection path.
Requires timely remediation of the publicly disclosed flaw in /student/index.php to eliminate the injection vector.
