Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the `getStatus` function within `controllers/GradeController.php` (and subsequently `config/User.php`) of the Kushan2k student-management-system. The application fails to properly sanitize or parameterize the `nic` (National Identity Card) argument received via a POST request before using it in a database query. A remote attacker can provide a malicious payload (e.g., '0 OR 1=1 --') to manipulate the query logic, causing the application to return a valid student ID. This ID is then stored in the user's session, effectively allowing the attacker to impersonate other students and access sensitive PII and academic records. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released by the maintainer.
