CVE-2024-2062
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 · uneditedA vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in SourceCodester Petrol Pump Management Software 1.0. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /admin/edit_categories.php. The manipulation of the argument id leads to sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier VDB-255377 was assigned to this vulnerability.
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 confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in SourceCodester Petrol Pump Management Software 1.0 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL commands through the 'id' parameter in /admin/edit_categories.php. The lack of proper input sanitization enables attackers to manipulate database queries.

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.
-
Identify the installed application versionLocate version information in the application files, typically in a readme.txt, version.php, or the main index file header. Check the source code for a version constant or check the application footer for version display.Affected if The installed version is Mayurik Petrol Pump Management 1.0 (exact match)
-
Confirm the vulnerable file existsCheck for the presence of /admin/edit_categories.php in the web root directory of the application.Affected if The file /admin/edit_categories.php exists in the application directory
-
Verify the id parameter is usedOpen /admin/edit_categories.php and search for code that uses the 'id' parameter directly in SQL queries without apparent sanitization, parameter binding, or prepared statements.Affected if The file contains SQL queries that directly incorporate the 'id' parameter without input validation or parameterized queries
-
Check if admin interface is accessibleAttempt to access /admin/edit_categories.php via HTTP request or verify the admin panel is accessible without authentication restrictions.Affected if The admin interface containing edit_categories.php is reachable (authentication may be required but is not a mitigation for the SQL injection)
-
Review database query implementationExamine the PHP code in edit_categories.php to identify all SQL query constructions that involve the 'id' parameter. Look for patterns like $_GET['id'] or $_POST['id'] being concatenated into SQL strings.Affected if SQL queries in the file directly concatenate or interpolate the 'id' parameter without using prepared statements or escaping functions
You are affected if you are running Mayurik Petrol Pump Management version 1.0 and the file /admin/edit_categories.php exists with unprotected SQL queries using the 'id' parameter.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 dataReplace dynamic SQL queries with prepared statements/parameterized queries, implement strict input validation on the id parameter, and apply principle of least privilege to database accounts.
