CVE-2025-11064 Overview
A SQL injection vulnerability has been discovered in Campcodes Online Learning Management System version 1.0. The flaw exists in the /admin/teachers.php file, where improper handling of the department parameter allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication, potentially allowing unauthorized access to sensitive database contents, data manipulation, or further system compromise.
Critical Impact
Remote attackers can exploit this SQL injection vulnerability to extract sensitive data, modify database records, or potentially gain unauthorized access to the underlying system through the publicly accessible administrative endpoint.

Technical Details for CVE-2025-11064
Vulnerability Analysis
This SQL injection vulnerability affects the administrative teachers management functionality in Campcodes Online Learning Management System. The vulnerable endpoint /admin/teachers.php fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input passed through the department parameter before incorporating it into SQL queries. This classic injection vulnerability (CWE-74) allows attackers to manipulate database queries by crafting malicious input that escapes the intended query context.
The network-accessible nature of this vulnerability means that any attacker with HTTP access to the application can attempt exploitation without requiring prior authentication or user interaction. The vulnerability affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system, though the impact is assessed as limited in scope.
Root Cause
The root cause of this vulnerability is insufficient input validation and the absence of parameterized queries or prepared statements when processing the department parameter in the /admin/teachers.php file. The application directly concatenates user-supplied input into SQL queries, creating an injection point that attackers can exploit to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database.
Attack Vector
The attack vector for CVE-2025-11064 is network-based, requiring only HTTP access to the vulnerable endpoint. An attacker can craft a malicious HTTP request containing SQL injection payloads in the department parameter. Common exploitation techniques include UNION-based injection to extract data from other tables, boolean-based blind injection to enumerate database contents, and time-based blind injection to infer information when direct output is not visible.
The vulnerability is exploitable without authentication, meaning any remote attacker can target exposed instances of the Online Learning Management System. The public disclosure of this vulnerability increases the likelihood of exploitation attempts against unpatched systems.
Detection Methods for CVE-2025-11064
Indicators of Compromise
- Unusual or malformed requests to /admin/teachers.php containing SQL syntax characters such as single quotes, double quotes, semicolons, or SQL keywords in the department parameter
- Database error messages or unexpected application behavior indicating failed injection attempts
- Anomalous database queries appearing in logs that contain UNION SELECT, OR 1=1, or other common SQL injection patterns
- Evidence of unauthorized data access or extraction from the database
Detection Strategies
- Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block common SQL injection patterns targeting the department parameter
- Monitor application logs for requests to /admin/teachers.php containing suspicious characters or SQL keywords
- Deploy intrusion detection systems with signatures for SQL injection attack patterns
- Conduct regular vulnerability scans focusing on SQL injection detection against administrative endpoints
Monitoring Recommendations
- Enable detailed logging on the web server to capture full request parameters for forensic analysis
- Configure database audit logging to detect unusual query patterns or unauthorized data access
- Set up alerts for repeated failed requests or error responses from the /admin/teachers.php endpoint
- Monitor network traffic for patterns consistent with automated SQL injection tools
How to Mitigate CVE-2025-11064
Immediate Actions Required
- Restrict access to the /admin/teachers.php endpoint using IP whitelisting or VPN-only access until a patch is available
- Deploy Web Application Firewall rules to filter SQL injection attempts targeting the department parameter
- Review database access logs for signs of prior exploitation and assess potential data exposure
- Consider temporarily disabling the affected functionality if business operations permit
Patch Information
At the time of this analysis, no official vendor patch has been released for this vulnerability. Organizations should monitor the CampCodes website for security updates. Additional technical details about this vulnerability are available through the VulDB Entry #326101 and the GitHub Issue Discussion.
Workarounds
- Implement input validation on the department parameter to reject any input containing SQL special characters or keywords
- Convert database queries to use prepared statements with parameterized queries to prevent injection
- Apply the principle of least privilege to the database user account used by the application
- Deploy network-level access controls to limit exposure of the administrative interface to trusted networks only
# Example: Block access to vulnerable endpoint using Apache .htaccess
<Location "/admin/teachers.php">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.1.0/24
