Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-5198 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-89) in code-projects Student Membership System 1.0, published on 2026-03-31. The flaw resides in an unknown function within the file /admin/index.php of the Admin Login component, where manipulation of the username/password arguments enables SQL code injection.

The vulnerability allows remote exploitation over the network with low attack complexity, requiring no privileges or user interaction (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L, score 7.3). Attackers can achieve limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability through injected SQL payloads.

Advisories reference the vendor site at https://code-projects.org/, a GitHub issue at https://github.com/maidangdang1/CVE/issues/4, and VulDB entries including https://vuldb.com/vuln/354296. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly prevents SQL injection by validating and sanitizing username/password inputs before they are used in database queries in /admin/index.php.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Requires timely remediation of the known SQL injection flaw in the Admin Login component through patching or code correction.

RA-5 Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning partial match
detect

Enables detection of the SQL injection vulnerability via regular scanning of the Student Membership System for publicly disclosed exploits.
