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 · unedited
SQL injection vulnerability in the Music module in phpBasic allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter in a view action to the default URI.

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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in phpBasic's Music module allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands through the id parameter in a view action. The application fails to properly sanitize user input before using it in SQL queries, enabling attackers to manipulate database queries.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements. Apply strict input validation on the id parameter and implement least-privilege database accounts to limit the impact of successful exploitation.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm phpBasic installation exists
    Locate phpBasic files on the web server by searching for phpBasic directories or checking web application directories for phpbasic.php or similar phpBasic core files
    Affected if phpBasic is installed on the server
  2. Identify if Music module is present
    Search for the Music module files within the phpBasic installation, typically found in a modules/music or similar directory structure
    Affected if The Music module directory exists within the phpBasic installation
  3. Verify the vulnerable view action is accessible
    Check if the Music module's view action handler is accessible via web request (typically through index.php or a route handling the Music module's view action)
    Affected if The view action endpoint is accessible and accepts an id parameter
  4. Check input sanitization in the id parameter handling
    Examine the Music module source code for the view action to determine if the id parameter is used directly in SQL queries without proper escaping or parameterization
    Affected if The id parameter is concatenated directly into SQL queries without sanitization

If phpBasic with the Music module is installed and the view action handles the id parameter without sanitization, the environment is affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.

Mitigation

Replace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries or prepared statements. Apply strict input validation on the id parameter and implement least-privilege database accounts to limit the impact of successful exploitation.
