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 Kashipara Billing Software 1.0's item_list_edit.php file allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands via the 'id' parameter in HTTP POST requests. The lack of input sanitization or parameterized queries in the component's request handler enables complete database compromise.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with prepared statements/parameterized queries for the 'id' parameter and audit all other user-supplied inputs in the application for similar injection vulnerabilities.

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 installed version of Kashipara Billing Software
    Check the application documentation, version file in the webroot, or footer/branding for version number. Compare against the affected version: 1.0
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0
  2. Locate the vulnerable PHP file
    Search for item_list_edit.php in the web application directory structure, typically under the admin or main application folder
    Affected if The file item_list_edit.php exists in the application installation
  3. Verify the file accepts POST requests with 'id' parameter
    Inspect the source code of item_list_edit.php to confirm it processes the 'id' parameter from HTTP POST requests, or review server access logs for POST requests to this endpoint
    Affected if The file processes the 'id' parameter without visible input sanitization or parameterized query usage in the code
  4. Check for SQL query construction with the 'id' parameter
    Examine the PHP code in item_list_edit.php to identify SQL queries that incorporate the 'id' parameter directly into query strings without prepared statements or escaping functions
    Affected if The 'id' parameter is concatenated directly into SQL queries without parameterization

The environment is affected if running Kashipara Billing Software version 1.0 and the item_list_edit.php file processes the 'id' parameter through unsanitized SQL queries.
