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
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Inis up to 2.0.1. Affected is an unknown function of the file /app/api/controller/default/Sqlite.php. The manipulation of the argument sql leads to sql injection. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-250110 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.

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 · moderate confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in Inis up to 2.0.1 in the file /app/api/controller/default/Sqlite.php. The 'sql' argument is not properly sanitized allowing arbitrary SQL command injection. The exploit is publicly available and rated critical (CVSS 9.8).

MitigationUpdate to a patched version if available; otherwise, implement proper input validation/sanitization on the sql parameter or use parameterized queries to eliminate the injection vector.

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. Locate the Inis installation directory
    Search for the file /app/api/controller/default/Sqlite.php in your web root or application directory
    Affected if The file Sqlite.php exists in the expected path
  2. Determine the installed Inis version
    Check for a version file or banner in the application (commonly in composer.json, README, or version config) and compare to <= 2.0.1
    Affected if The installed version is 2.0.1 or lower
  3. Verify the vulnerable endpoint is accessible
    Check if the URL path /app/api/controller/default/Sqlite.php or /api/controller/default/Sqlite is exposed via the web server
    Affected if The Sqlite.php controller is reachable over HTTP
  4. Inspect the sql parameter handling
    Examine the Sqlite.php source code for direct use of the 'sql' request parameter in SQL queries without sanitization or parameterized queries
    Affected if The code accepts and executes the 'sql' parameter directly in SQL statements
  5. Confirm web exposure of the API
    Review web server configuration or .htaccess to determine if the /app/api/ directory is publicly accessible
    Affected if The API endpoint is exposed to unauthenticated users

A user is affected if they are running Inis version 2.0.1 or lower with the Sqlite.php endpoint publicly accessible and the sql parameter being used without sanitization.
