The identifier VDB-256953 was assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
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 confidenceA SQL injection vulnerability exists in the MAGESH-K21 Online-College-Event-Hall-Reservation-System 1.0 within the home.php file. The 'id' parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries. A public exploit is available.

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 if the MAGESH-K21 application is installedSearch the web server document root for files or directories containing 'Online College Event Hall Reservation' or 'MAGESH-K21' brandingAffected if The application files are present on the server
-
Confirm the installed version is 1.0Look for version information in README files, version constants, or configuration files within the application directoryAffected if The installed version is exactly 1.0
-
Locate the home.php fileFind the home.php file within the application's web-accessible directoriesAffected if The home.php file exists in the web root or application directory
-
Verify the application is network accessibleAttempt to access the application via HTTP/HTTPS from a remote client to confirm it is exposedAffected if The application responds to web requests from remote clients
-
Inspect the id parameter handling in home.phpExamine the source code of home.php to identify if the 'id' parameter from GET or POST requests is used in SQL queries without proper sanitization or prepared statementsAffected if The 'id' parameter is directly interpolated into SQL queries without escaping or parameter binding
The environment is affected if it runs MAGESH-K21 Online College Event Hall Reservation System version 1.0 with an accessible home.php that uses the 'id' parameter in unsanitized SQL queries.

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 parameterized queries/prepared statements for the 'id' parameter in home.php, and perform input validation on all user-supplied parameters.
