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.
-
Confirm the installed application versionLocate version identification files in the application root directory (such as readme.txt, version.php, or similar) or check the footer of the web pages for the version numberAffected if The application version is exactly 1.0 (PHPGurukul Maid Hiring Management System)
-
Verify the admin panel existsAttempt to access /admin/ directory or /admin/search-maid.php via HTTP request to confirm the admin interface is present and reachableAffected if The admin panel directory and search-maid.php file are accessible on the web server
-
Locate the vulnerable fileOn the web server, navigate to the web root directory and locate the file at path: /admin/search-maid.phpAffected if The file /admin/search-maid.php exists in the web application installation
-
Inspect the searchdata parameter handlingOpen /admin/search-maid.php and examine the code that handles the searchdata parameter - look for direct insertion of the parameter into SQL queries without prepared statements or parameter bindingAffected if The searchdata parameter is used directly in SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterized queries
-
Check if the application processes user inputReview the application flow to confirm that the searchdata parameter accepts user-supplied input from HTTP GET or POST requests and passes it to the SQL query in search-maid.phpAffected if User-supplied input from the searchdata parameter is accepted and processed by the application without validation
A user is affected if they are running PHPGurukul Maid Hiring Management System version 1.0 with the /admin/search-maid.php file accessible and the searchdata parameter vulnerable to SQL injection.

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 dataImplement parameterized queries or prepared statements for the searchdata parameter input, and audit the codebase for similar SQL injection vulnerabilities in other files.
