CVE-2022-2671
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 was found in SourceCodester Garage Management System and classified as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file removeUser.php. The manipulation of the argument id leads to sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-205655.
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 the removeUser.php file of SourceCodester Garage Management System allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the 'id' parameter. The lack of parameterized queries or input sanitization enables attackers to manipulate database queries.

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.
-
Locate the Garage Management System installationSearch your web server for the file removeUser.php. Common paths may include /garage/, /garagemgmt/, or the web root. Use: find /var/www -name "removeUser.php" 2>/dev/nullAffected if The file exists in your environment, indicating you have this application installed
-
Verify the application is accessible over the networkCheck if the web application is exposed to network access (not only localhost). Review your web server configuration and firewall rules to determine if remote users can reach the removeUser.php endpointAffected if The application is reachable from remote network locations, enabling external attackers to reach the vulnerable file
-
Inspect the removeUser.php source code for SQL injection vulnerabilityOpen removeUser.php and examine how the 'id' parameter is handled in database queries. Look for direct string concatenation of the id parameter into SQL queries without prepared statements or proper escapingAffected if The code shows the id parameter is used directly in SQL queries without parameterized queries or input sanitization (e.g., no $stmt->prepare() or mysqli_real_escape_string())
-
Check database user privilegesReview the database user credentials used by the Garage Management System. Verify what database permissions this application user has (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP, etc.)Affected if The database user has excessive privileges beyond what the application requires, allowing an attacker who exploits the SQL injection to perform harmful operations
You are affected if the Garage Management System is installed, removeUser.php is accessible, and the source code shows the id parameter is handled without parameterized queries or input sanitization.

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 with prepared statements/parameterized queries, implement strict input validation on the id parameter, and apply least-privilege database access controls.
