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
A vulnerability has been found in MAGESH-K21 Online-College-Event-Hall-Reservation-System 1.0 and classified as critical. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file book_history.php. The manipulation of the argument del_id leads to sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-256954 is the identifier 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 confidence

SQL injection vulnerability in the book_history.php file of MAGESH-K21 Online-College-Event-Hall-Reservation-System 1.0. The del_id parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL code. A public exploit exists (VDB-256954).

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized statements/prepared statements. Implement proper input validation on the del_id parameter. If immediate patching is not possible, implement Web Application Firewall rules as a temporary mitigation.

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 installed product and version
    Locate the web application files and identify if the application is MAGESH-K21 Online-College-Event-Hall-Reservation-System. Check for version indicators in source files, readme files, or admin panels.
    Affected if The application is installed and the version is 1.0 exactly
  2. Locate the vulnerable file
    Search the web root directory for the file book_history.php. This is the specific file containing the SQL injection vulnerability.
    Affected if book_history.php exists in the web application directory
  3. Check if del_id parameter is processed
    Examine book_history.php source code to verify if the del_id parameter is received via GET or POST and used directly in SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterized queries.
    Affected if The code shows del_id being used in SQL queries without prepared statements or input validation
  4. Verify application is accessible and exposed
    Confirm the web application is accessible over HTTP/HTTPS and book_history.php is reachable via the web browser.
    Affected if The vulnerable file is publicly accessible and accepts user input through the del_id parameter

A user is affected if they have MAGESH-K21 Online-College-Event-Hall-Reservation-System version 1.0 installed with book_history.php accessible and the del_id parameter being processed without sanitization.

Mitigation

Replace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized statements/prepared statements. Implement proper input validation on the del_id parameter. If immediate patching is not possible, implement Web Application Firewall rules as a temporary mitigation.

Recommended fix High confidence
  1. This vulnerability in Online College Event Hall Reservation System 1.0 has no vendor-provided patch or upgrade path.
  2. The vendor (MAGESH-K21) was contacted but did not respond to the disclosure.
  3. No fixed version or official patch has been released for this SQL injection vulnerability in book_history.php (parameter: del_id).
  4. Consider the following mitigations: 1) Implement input validation/sanitization on the del_id parameter in book_history.php before using it in SQL queries, 2) Use parameterized queries (prepared statements) instead of direct SQL concatenation, 3) Apply Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block SQL injection attempts, 4) If possible, disable or restrict access to the affected endpoint until a se
