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 hansun CMS installation
    Look for hansun CMS files, directories, or web application artifacts on the server. Check for CMS-specific folder structures or configuration files typically associated with hansun CMS.
    Affected if hansun CMS is not present on the system, the vulnerability does not apply.
  2. Verify installed CMS version
    Locate version information files or headers specific to hansun CMS installation. Common locations include version.txt, about page, or configuration files listing the product version.
    Affected if The installed version is not exactly 1.0, the system may not be affected by this specific CVE.
  3. Check if ajax_login.ashx exists
    Inspect the web root directory for the presence of the /ajax/ajax_login.ashx file. This file should exist in the web application's ajax directory.
    Affected if The ajax_login.ashx file is missing, the SQL injection point does not exist.
  4. Verify login endpoint is accessible
    Attempt to access the login endpoint via HTTP/HTTPS request to /ajax/ajax_login.ashx or verify the endpoint responds in the application's URL structure.
    Affected if The login endpoint is not accessible or does not exist, the vulnerability cannot be exploited.

Your environment is affected if hansun CMS version 1.0 is installed and the /ajax/ajax_login.ashx login endpoint is accessible and operational.
