Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-0698 is a SQL injection flaw in code-projects Intern Membership Management System 1.0. An attacker with the required application access could manipulate an admin-related request and potentially read or change database data. Public exploit information exists, but the provided sources do not show active exploitation or a vendor patch.
Executive priority
Prioritize review if this system stores personal, internship, student, or membership data and is reachable by users over the network. It is not currently KEV-listed, but public exploit disclosure raises urgency for exposed deployments.
Technical view
The issue affects /intern/admin/edit_students.php through the admin_id argument. VulDB and CVE data classify it as CWE-89/CWE-74 with CVSS v2 5.8: network reachable, low complexity, authenticated, partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The vulnerable function is not identified in the sources.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to organizations running code-projects Intern Membership Management System 1.0, especially if the /intern/admin/ area is reachable over a network. The CVSS vector indicates authentication is required. Organizations not using this specific application and version are not exposed based on current sources.
Exploitation context
A public exploit reference is listed, and VulDB says the exploit has been disclosed and may be used. CVE data does not indicate CISA KEV listing, and no provided source confirms active exploitation in the wild.
Researcher notes
The source bundle contains a path mismatch: the CVE title names edit_students.php, while one GitHub reference title mentions students_details.php. Treat edit_students.php and admin_id as the primary CVE-described issue unless vendor or CNA data clarifies otherwise.
Mitigation direction
- Check code-projects and VulDB for vendor guidance or any updated release.
- Restrict network access to /intern/admin/ interfaces to trusted users only.
- Review and harden admin authentication and authorization controls.
- If maintaining the code, replace dynamic SQL with parameterized queries.
- Back up the database before applying code or configuration changes.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether Intern Membership Management System 1.0 is deployed.
- Verify whether /intern/admin/edit_students.php exists in production.
- Determine who can access the affected admin function.
- Review application logs for unusual admin_id request patterns.
- Confirm remediation by code review or vendor-supported testing.
