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

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the /admin/pages/student-print.php file of Faculty Management System 1.0, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via unspecified parameters. The critical CVSS score of 9.8 indicates potential for complete compromise of the database and potentially the application.

MitigationImplement parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database operations in student-print.php, apply input validation and sanitization, and review other admin PHP files for similar injection vulnerabilities. Since this is a known public exploit, prioritize immediate remediation.

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. Identify Faculty Management System installation and version
    Locate the application on your server and check the installed version. Look for version identifiers in the source code, README files, or application metadata.
    Affected if The system is Carmelogarcia Faculty Management System version 1.0
  2. Verify vulnerable file exists
    Check if the file /admin/pages/student-print.php exists in your webroot or application directory.
    Affected if The file student-print.php exists in the /admin/pages/ directory
  3. Confirm application is network-accessible
    Verify the web application is accessible over the network (HTTP/HTTPS) on the expected hostname or IP address.
    Affected if The application is externally accessible and the /admin/pages/student-print.php endpoint responds to requests
  4. Check admin endpoint accessibility
    Determine if the /admin/ directory and student-print.php are accessible without authentication or with low-privilege access.
    Affected if The vulnerable endpoint can be reached by remote attackers without requiring administrator credentials
  5. Review application database configuration
    Inspect the application configuration files to determine if database queries in the affected file use direct SQL execution rather than prepared statements or parameterized queries.
    Affected if The application uses direct SQL queries in student-print.php without parameterized queries

Your environment is affected if you have Faculty Management System version 1.0 with the /admin/pages/student-print.php file accessible over the network.
