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 CodeAstro House Rental Management System 1.0's signing.php file allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through the uname and password parameters. The application fails to properly sanitize user input before using it in SQL queries, enabling attackers to manipulate database operations.

MitigationReplace direct SQL query construction with parameterized queries (prepared statements) in signing.php for both uname and password parameters. Implement proper input validation and escaping as defense-in-depth.

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 CodeAstro House Rental Management System is installed
    Locate the application installation directory. Common paths may include /var/www/html/, /wwwroot/, or the web server's document root. Look for files characteristic of this application such as signing.php, index.php, or admin/ directories.
    Affected if The CodeAstro House Rental Management System is present on the server
  2. Verify the installed version is 1.0
    Check for a version file, README, or footer in the application that displays the version number. Alternatively, examine the source code for version strings or check the installation package metadata.
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 1.0
  3. Locate and inspect signing.php for SQL injection vulnerability
    Find the signing.php file within the application directory. Open the file and examine the code handling the uname and password parameters. Look for SQL queries that concatenate or embed these parameters directly into the query string without using prepared statements or parameter binding.
    Affected if The signing.php file contains SQL queries that directly incorporate the uname or password parameters without parameterized queries
  4. Check if the login form is accessible
    Navigate to the login page that uses signing.php (typically the main login page or admin login). Verify the page is reachable over HTTP/HTTPS.
    Affected if The login form is accessible remotely and accepts user input for uname and password parameters

The environment is affected if CodeAstro House Rental Management System version 1.0 is installed, the signing.php file contains direct SQL query construction using uname/password parameters, and the login function is accessible.
