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
Vulnerability in AMSS++ version 4.31 that allows SQL injection through /amssplus/modules/book/main/select_send.php, in the 'sd_index' parameter. This vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to send a specially crafted SQL query to the server and retrieve all the information stored in the DB.

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 AMSS++ version 4.31 allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through the 'sd_index' parameter in /amssplus/modules/book/main/select_send.php, potentially exposing all database contents.

MitigationReplace dynamic SQL queries with parameterized queries/prepared statements in select_send.php, implement strict input validation on the 'sd_index' parameter, and consider deploying a WAF as a layered defense.

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. Locate AMSS++ installation directory
    Search the web server filesystem for the 'amssplus' directory, typically found in web root paths such as /var/www/html/amssplus, /htdocs/amssplus, or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\amssplus
    Affected if The amsplus directory exists on the server
  2. Verify AMSS++ version is 4.31
    Check version.php or version.info file within the AMSS++ installation directory for the exact version number
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 4.31
  3. Confirm vulnerable file exists
    Verify the file path /amssplus/modules/book/main/select_send.php exists within the AMSS++ installation
    Affected if The file select_send.php exists in the modules/book/main/ directory
  4. Check if book module is enabled
    Inspect the AMSS++ configuration file or module management settings to determine if the 'book' module is active/enabled
    Affected if The book module is enabled in the AMSS++ configuration
  5. Inspect the vulnerable parameter handling
    Review the select_send.php file to confirm it processes the 'sd_index' parameter without proper input validation or parameterized queries
    Affected if The code directly uses the 'sd_index' parameter in SQL queries without prepared statements

A system is affected if AMSS++ version 4.31 is installed with the book module enabled and the vulnerable select_send.php file processes the sd_index parameter unsafely.
