CVE-2026-5669
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability has been found in Cyber-III Student-Management-System up to 1a938fa61e9f735078e9b291d2e6215b4942af3f. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /login.php of the component Parameter Handler. Such manipulation of the argument Password leads to sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. This product takes the approach of rolling releases to provide continious delivery. Therefore, version details for affected and updated releases are not available. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in Cyber-III Student Management System's /login.php file, specifically in the Password parameter handler. The attack can be launched remotely and allows injection of malicious SQL queries through the Password argument.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Cyber-III Student Management System installationSearch for the login.php file in web-accessible directories, typically under /admin/, /student/, or the web root. Check for known file paths like /login.php, /admin/login.php, or /student/login.php.Affected if The login.php file from Cyber-III Student Management System is found on the server.
-
Examine the Password parameter handling in login.phpOpen login.php and locate the code handling the Password input field. Search for SQL query construction involving the Password parameter.Affected if SQL queries in login.php directly concatenate or embed the Password parameter without using parameterized queries.
-
Verify absence of prepared statements for login queriesReview the login.php code around line numbers where the Password variable is used in SQL statements. Look for absence of mysqli_prepare(), PDO::prepare(), or similar parameterized query functions.Affected if The SQL query handling the Password parameter does not use mysqli_prepare(), PDO::prepare(), or equivalent prepared statement functions.
-
Check web server access logs for injection attemptsReview web server logs (Apache access.log, Nginx access.log) for requests to login.php containing SQL operators in the Password field, such as quotes, UNION, SELECT, OR 1=1, or other SQL syntax.Affected if Logs show suspicious requests with SQL metacharacters in the Password parameter, indicating possible exploitation attempts.
If Cyber-III Student Management System is installed with a login.php file that handles the Password parameter using direct string concatenation in SQL queries without prepared statements, the environment is affected by CVE-2026-5669.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement parameterized queries/prepared statements for all SQL queries in login.php, particularly for the Password parameter. Additionally, implement input validation and output encoding as defense-in-depth.
