What is CVE-2026-7745?

CVE-2026-7745 is a sql injection in Online Classroom. A vulnerability was determined in CodeAstro Online Classroom 1.0. This impacts an unknown function of the file /OnlineClassroom/facultydetails. This manipulation of the argument deleteid causes sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. Full technical detail is in the vendor advisory and the NVD entry.

Why this CVE matters

The sql injection class of flaw against Online Classroom is the kind of issue attackers chain into broader access once they get a foothold. Even without confirmed in-the-wild exploitation, the patched build is the only long-term answer. Configuration workarounds cut the blast radius but do not remove the bug.

Am I affected?

Run the version check that matches your platform. If the installed build sits inside the affected range from the table above, the fix applies to you.


# Linux package check
dpkg -s onlineclassroom 2>/dev/null | grep -i version    # Debian / Ubuntu
rpm -q onlineclassroom 2>/dev/null                       # RHEL / Rocky

How to fix CVE-2026-7745

Apply the patched build the vendor names in the advisory. The commands below are starting points keyed to common platforms; adapt the package name and target version to your environment.

npm / Yarn / pnpm

# Update to the patched release named in the advisory
npm install online-classroom@latest
# or pin to the exact fixed version from the vendor advisory
npm install online-classroom@<patched-version>
npm ls online-classroom

PyPI (pip / Poetry)


# Vendor advisory: https://vuldb.com/vuln/360920
pip install --upgrade online-classroom
pip show online-classroom | grep -i version
# Poetry:
poetry add online-classroom@^<patched-version>

Docker / container


# Vendor advisory: https://vuldb.com/vuln/360920
docker pull <your-registry>/online-classroom:<patched-tag>
docker stop <app> && docker rm <app>
docker run -d --name <app> <your-registry>/online-classroom:<patched-tag>

If you can't patch immediately

Patching is the only durable fix. These mitigations cut exposure while the change window is scheduled. They do not remove the vulnerability.

Restrict network exposure (iptables / nftables)


# Replace 10.0.0.0/8 with your management network.
sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -s 10.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP
sudo iptables-save | sudo tee /etc/iptables/rules.v4


# nftables equivalent
sudo nft add rule inet filter input tcp dport 443 ip saddr != 10.0.0.0/8 drop

Web server / WAF rule (ModSecurity sample)


# Append to /etc/modsecurity/rules/local.conf and reload Apache.
SecRule REQUEST_URI "@rx (?:\.\./|%2e%2e/)" \
    "id:900001,phase:1,deny,status:403,msg:'Path traversal attempt blocked'"
SecRule ARGS "@rx (?:union[\s/*]+select|select[\s/*]+.*from)" \
    "id:900002,phase:2,deny,status:403,msg:'SQLi pattern blocked'"


sudo systemctl reload apache2    # or nginx

How to verify the fix worked

After applying the patched build, confirm the version string matches the fixed release named in the CodeAstro advisory.


dpkg -s onlineclassroom | grep -i version       # Debian / Ubuntu
rpm -q onlineclassroom                          # RHEL / Rocky

Run an authenticated vulnerability scan with a current signature set and confirm the scanner no longer flags CVE-2026-7745. For internet-facing deployments that were unpatched during the disclosure window, review logs for the affected endpoints over the full exposure period and rotate any credentials the vulnerable process could touch.

Frequently asked questions

Is CVE-2026-7745 being exploited in the wild?

At time of writing, CVE-2026-7745 is not on CISA's KEV list. Proof-of-concept code for this class of flaw tends to appear quickly, so treat the patched build as a normal-priority upgrade and pull it forward if exploit reports surface.

What is the CVSS score for CVE-2026-7745?

The CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium). Full vector detail is on the NVD entry.

Will a firewall rule or WAF signature fully mitigate CVE-2026-7745?

No. Network-layer filters slow opportunistic scanners and block a subset of payloads, but a focused attacker who knows the bug will work around them. The vendor patch is the only durable fix.

Do I need to assume compromise if the affected service was internet-facing and unpatched?

Not automatically, but log review is cheap insurance. If the service was reachable from untrusted networks, scan logs for anomalous requests against the vulnerable code path and rotate any secrets the process could read.
