Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-6167 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-74, CWE-89) in code-projects Faculty Management System 1.0, published on 2026-04-13. The flaw impacts an unknown function within the file /subject-print.php, where manipulation of the ID argument enables SQL injection. 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), indicating high severity due to its network accessibility and lack of prerequisites.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability with low complexity and no user interaction. Exploitation allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially enabling unauthorized data access, modification, or disruption via injected SQL payloads. The exploit is public and available for immediate use.
