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.
-
Verify Phpwebgallery is installedLocate the Phpwebgallery installation directory on the web server. Look for the main index.php or config file typically found in the web root.Affected if Phpwebgallery software is present on the server
-
Confirm the exact version numberCheck the version file or header in the Phpwebgallery installation. Common locations include a version.php file, README, or within the admin interface.Affected if Installed version is exactly 1.4.1
-
Locate the vulnerable category.php fileFind category.php within the Phpwebgallery installation directory structure, typically in the root or includes folder.Affected if The file category.php exists in the Phpwebgallery installation
-
Verify the search parameter is accessibleAttempt to access the category.php script via HTTP and observe if a search parameter is accepted, such as: http://[host]/category.php?search=[value]Affected if The category.php script accepts a search parameter without proper sanitization
-
Inspect the category.php code for dynamic SQLExamine the category.php source code and look for SQL queries that incorporate the search parameter directly without using prepared statements or escaping functions.Affected if The code contains unsanitized SQL queries using the search parameter
A user is affected if Phpwebgallery version 1.4.1 is installed and the category.php file accepts a search parameter that is used in SQL queries without input validation or parameterized queries.

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 dataReplace dynamic SQL queries in category.php with prepared statements/parameterized queries, and implement strict input validation on all user-supplied parameters.
