University systems may become exposed to direct attacks on networking hardware, advanced persistent threats, and cyberattacks where hostile attackers use network connections to gain access to restricted resources. One of these tasks examines the susceptibility of a university network to network-based attacks. Network and system administrators are responsible for keeping networks and systems safe from threats coming from both inside and outside the company. There is always a chance that someone from outside the academic community may hack into a university's network infrastructure and take advantage of network weaknesses. Network and system administrators, however, frequently have trouble identifying security holes, solutions, or security patches that can be applied to alleviate the vulnerabilities. An essential component of security assessment is determining the level of compromise that vital servers in a network can withstand. Two host networks were screened using Acunetix, Zaproxy, and OpenVAS scanners. These host networks belongs to educational institutions of North India. This scanning helped to discover vulnerabilities present in the network with their severity level. This manuscript presents a mitigation plan for cross site scripting and SQL injection vulnerabilities in educational institutions network.
