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
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection'), CWE - 200 - Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Arma Store Armalife allows SQL Injection. This issue affects Armalife: through 20250916.  NOTE: The vendor did not inform about the completion of the fixing process within the specified time. The CVE will be updated when new information becomes available.

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 Arma Store Armalife allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized user input, potentially enabling complete database compromise, unauthorized access to sensitive information, or system takeover.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries (prepared statements) across all application entry points, implement strict input validation, and apply principle of least privilege to database accounts.

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 Arma Store Armalife is present
    Search for application files, directories, or running services named 'Armalife', 'Arma Store', or related gaming server management components. Check web server document roots for characteristic Armalife file structures.
    Affected if The application is installed and running in the environment.
  2. Identify database interaction code
    Locate PHP or other server-side files that handle database queries. Search for patterns involving SQL keywords (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) combined with user-supplied variables or parameters.
    Affected if Dynamic SQL queries exist that incorporate user input without visible sanitization.
  3. Review user input entry points
    Examine form handlers, URL parameters, API endpoints, and HTTP request processors for direct use in SQL statements. Focus on login, search, filtering, and profile update functions.
    Affected if User-controllable data flows directly into database queries without parameterized query usage.
  4. Check for prepared statements or input validation
    Search codebase for PDO prepare(), mysqli_prepare(), or equivalent parameterized query implementations. Look for sanitization functions or input validation routines applied before database operations.
    Affected if No parameterized queries or input validation is found in the SQL execution paths using user input.

The environment is affected if Arma Store Armalife is present AND the application uses dynamic SQL queries that incorporate unsanitized user input directly into database operations.
